Gorgeous Antique Ivory Silk Wedding Shoes Beaded Bows Museum Deaccession

What an incredible find !

I have just acquired 20 pairs of antique shoes from a Swedish museum

This pair has been in their archive

They have been worn but in lovely condition, with minimal spots, and wear to inside and outside sole

The left shoe has a rip to the bow

They are marked a 39 which would roughly translate to a US 8.5 or so

10.5" length
