Queens stitch garters, circa 1753.
These garters are in the Wintertur Museum online collection apparently, though going to the link I was unable to access any online collection for more information. This sadly is often the case. I fail to see why they design such sites as to baffle the prospective viewer! I have (again!) contacted the museum asking for some clarrification.

Men's garters were surprisingly ornate, as well; so who's to say?
Exactly Gorges. Some museums give no description or date!!! I was just trying to search The British Museum. Accoding to their register online, all they have for the 18th century is about five pistures & a lot of playing cards!!!

Hi Keith,
They resemble the garters I use on my leggings. Indian style.
