Hand muff
Hand muff with dark brown fur, which is possibly mink, and a
dark red cotton lining.
Nowadays, when the cold weather hits, men and women tend to wear
gloves. However, during the 17th and 18th century, the handwarmer
or muff was a popular choice. Later, in the 1900s, generally only
women wore a hand muff, which was often prettily decorated with
embroidered elements or luxurious furs.
