white gloves
Formal servant's accessory
White gloves are gloves made of white fabric, typically cotton or silk, worn for formal occasions, ceremonial duties, or to handle delicate objects.
Butler service and museum work are associated with white gloves—the image suggests careful, pristine handling.
A white-glove inspection is extremely thorough, checking for dust in hidden places.
White-glove service or white-glove treatment means attentive, high-end care: They offer white-glove delivery for expensive furniture.
