Embroidered Victorian Shoes

on July 24, 2010 – 10:18 pm

This elegant pair of black velvet Victorian shoes is from the late 19th century. The toe of each shoe is beautifully embroidered in yellow, gold, red, and blue to create a delicate flower and leaf design.

The shoe opening features a black scalloped leather border and laces up the front with the original laces. There is a ¾ inch heel and has “4½” marked on the sole. The shoes are lined in deep pink colored leather.
