#5876 - c. 1870 Tan Taffeta Button
Boots! Likely Parisian! So sweet for display!
Exactly what you dreamed you could find! The classic-looking fine
Victorian evening boot with all the bells and whistles... scalloped
tops, scalloped button edging, bows on toes, elegant color and
fabric. The last pair I sold (almost exactly the same, had a
Parisian label! Here's the link to those:

These are in Excellent condition, though a few
issues... slight early signs of future silk splitting at the back,
and one upper bow is missing (the last pair had both upper bows
missing, so I didn't even know they were originally there!!).
Incredible condition for 140+ years old!). Unique inner corset-like
closure at foot top which ties (see photos) and then the boot
buttons over that! Never seen that before (except in the other
similar pair)!
SOLD - But on Display
