  • Shoe, F, about 1850, English; white satin with bow and gold flowers on sole (en)
  • The elegant flat satin lady's slipper first became popular in England during the last decade of the eighteenth century. Its plain design was part of the movement in fashion away from what were considered by some to be the extravagant excesses of the late eighteenth century. The move was towards a simpler, purer style of dress and footwear that was influenced by designs from classical antiquity. Slippers or 'sandal shoes', continued to be worn well into the mid-century although by the 1850s they were used mainly for formal wear in black or white. This shoe is a typical example of that style. The thin leather sole and delicately hand-stitched satin uppers were relatively simple and cheap to produce. They could then be customised either by the retailer or the owner with rosettes, ribbon ankle ties or other decorative embellishments. At first glance the elaborate bow appears to be the same cream colour as the rest of the shoe. However, upon closer inspection traces of pink are visible and it is likely that the whole bow was once pink but has since faded. (en)
  • Shoe, cream satin upper with multiple looped satin bow at throat; rounded toe and throat, pair of folded side seams, edges bound in silk; satin bow made separately then sewn onto gauze which is in turn sewn onto shoe at throat; cream canvas insole and sock, scarlet silk lining, loop of elastic attached to side edges; brown leather sole, wheeled at waist on inner side, gold flowers with 9 petals stamped into sole at toe and heel, the number '8' inside a circle inscribed in pencil on sole at heel.
