Antique Victorian Baby Shoes - Black Leather Toe Cap with Embossed Tan Uppers and Original Ribbon Laces
A charming and rare pair of antique Victorian-era baby shoes, beautifully constructed with glossy black leather toe caps and embossed tan leather uppers — a two-tone combination that speaks to the fine craftsmanship of the period. The original black grosgrain ribbon laces remain intact, threaded through the original eyelets. The layered cork and leather soles show honest age and wear, adding to the authenticity of these remarkable survivors.
At 5 inches in length, these would have fit a toddler of approximately 12–18 months. Finding a matched pair with original laces in this condition is increasingly rare, making these a wonderful addition to any collection of Victorian childhood ephemera, antique footwear, or early Americana.
