DescriptionLady's shoe of green damask silk. It has a pointed toe, a curved, high heel, and is fastened with a bow across the tongue on the front. It is decorated with a metallic silver lace panel up the front and back of the shoe. The silver in the lace panel is now rather tarnished, as often happens with silver exposed to the atmosphere but, when new, these would have been very eye catching shoes. Europe.
