Stunning Antique French Shoes Museum Deaccession Ivory Leather Beaded Bows
I have recently acquired over 20 pairs of antique shoes from a Swedish museum
This pair is actually French in origin with the soles being marked "manufacture de chaussures premiere qualite" As you can see from the soles they seem unworn, however have not been properly stored so the insides and out show age related storage wear . There is some bead loss and light shredding to the edges of the bow
They are marked a 36 (with the number 5 under that which is not relevant to a US 5)which roughly translates to a US 5.5 length from back of heel to toe is 9.5
