These gloves dated between 1615 and 1625 at the V&A look so much like the patterns from Bretschneider. The book, _New Modelbuch_ by Andreas Bretschneider is dated 1615 and the thin-line boisterous florals in shaped patterns are a favorite of mine. Its lovely to see the dimensionality of the style worked up in goldwork and raised embroidery https://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O159062/pair-of-gloves-unknown/#object-details Pages are from The Met. I particularly like their hand colored copy. https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/680913
