Edwardian silk shoes

#7058         $750

Satin & silk damask single strap shoes, c.1910

The opulent shoes, obviously expensive when new, show the restrained elegance favored by old money. The refined shape with elongated vamps and sassy tongues is the perfect background for the blend of expensive silk fabrics.

The shoes are meticulously constructed. They feature silk faille binding around the edges and expensive Louis heels. Each strap closes with a single button.

The insoles are black leather. The lining is a combination of ivory canvas and black kid. The soles are black leather. The insole is stamped "N. Snellenburg & Co./Philadelphia."

The condition is excellent. The shoes were minimally worn.

The size is about 7. The heels are 2 1/2" tall.
