Description: Cream silk shoe embroidered with silk and metal thread in a botanical design. High heels like these were all the rage in Georgian society, for both women and men. Matching your shoes to your dress was the height of fashion too, and this embroidered silk shoe is part of a pair that completes a stunning mantua ensemble (see image 55621), the style of dress worn at the Georgian court in the presence of the King or Queen.
