Brown Leather Pointed Toe Shoes

Rococo · 1780s-1820s · British

These are mid-18th century leather shoes featuring the characteristic pointed toe silhouette of the Rococo period. The shoes have a low-cut vamp with simple lace ties across the instep, constructed from brown leather that shows significant aging and wear. The pointed toe extends in an elongated curve typical of 1750s footwear, while the heel appears to be low or flat. The leather construction shows hand-stitched seams along the sole attachment, and the interior reveals worn brown leather lining. The overall form is sleek and minimal, reflecting the refined aesthetic of mid-Georgian fashion, designed to be worn with stockings and breeches or under long skirts of the period.
