Item Details

Used for showcasing gloves, this display hand still bears its original metal label, a testament to the store's high-end status.

The hand originates from Bobby & Co Eastbourne, a prestigious department store that operated from 1887 to 1972.

Bobby & Co owned stores along the south coast of England and extended as far as Royal Leamington Spa, establishing itself as a high-end retail destination.

The hand boasts a wonderful colour, standing at 31cm in height, it features a small nail banged into the back of the hand—a mystery that adds to its intrigue,
conjuring images of the exquisite gloves once elegantly displayed for the genteel ladies of Eastbourne.
