STILLER Antique Lace‑Up Leather Boots, Berlin, ca. 1906

These unworn antique leather boots from Berlin, dating to ca. 1906, are a rare and beautifully preserved example of early 20th‑century German footwear. Made of smooth leather and featuring the maker’s name “Stiller” woven into both boots, they represent the craftsmanship of one of Berlin’s long‑standing shoemakers — a business that still exists today.

The boots retain their original lacing, with flat toes and distinctive heels fitted with small metal rings, a characteristic detail of the period. The leather remains in very good condition, showing only minimal signs of age. The eyelets display slight rusting, consistent with natural oxidation over time, but this does not affect the structural integrity of the boots.

As unworn antique boots from a documented Berlin maker, this pair is an exceptional find for collectors of Edwardian footwear, German fashion history, and museum‑quality leather accessories. Their combination of originality, condition, and provenance makes them a standout addition to any collection.
