Sample Shoes
1830s

Two charming samples for a travelling salesman or/and doll's shoes?


Cataloguing

Caramel coloured leather with squarish toe, silk ribbon to front, and silk ribbon edging and  ties, leather soles, cotton interiors.



3 1/4 in; 8 cm long - £95



A black glacé leather gentleman's shoe, probably for a doll, with squarish toe and a silk grosgrain ribbon bow



21/2 in; 6.5 cm


Condition

The caramel shoe is in very good condition. The ribbon bow is fraying.



The black shoe is quite worn, which makes me think it was for a doll.
