Antique Evening Shoes in Goatskin Leather, England, ca. 1907

This exquisite pair of antique evening shoes from England circa 1907 is crafted from fine goatskin leather, showcasing the elegance and craftsmanship of Edwardian footwear. With their delicate silhouette and refined detailing, these shoes may have originally served as wedding shoes, given their ornamental design and formal character.

The straps and vamp are intricately embroidered with glass beads and glass bugle beads, adding a subtle shimmer and texture typical of early 20th-century bridal accessories. The shoes fasten with a classic button closure, a common feature in Edwardian fashion.

Signs of wear are visible on the leather soles, consistent with age and use, while the uppers show only minor wear, preserving the integrity of the goatskin material and beadwork. Overall, the shoes are in good to very good condition, making them a rare and desirable example of antique bridal shoes or Edwardian evening footwear. A few minor stains. 

These shoes are ideal for collectors of historical fashion, vintage wedding attire, or Edwardian accessories, and offer a tangible link to the elegance of pre-war British style.
