Item Details.
A really special pair of woman’s slippers dating from the late 18th century, and we think Venetian.

The uppers are made in a mauve coloured silk satin, covering a printed cotton and decorated with stumpwork metal thread embroidery. The heels which would have been leather originally look as though they have been covered at a later date with a gold laquer heel. The slippers have leather lined soles.

These little slippers ooze history and have the perfect time worn patina. Perfect for a costume collector or designer, display or for costume study.

Measurements:
Length: 23.5cm
Width: 9cm
Heel height: 4.5cm

Condition.
Fair as found condition, some rubs and losses to surface embroidery and general signs of wear. All of the items we sell are antique and as such have all the idiosyncrasies of an old and loved item, so small marks, stains and signs of wear are to be expected and are an inherent part of their charm.
