Overview

• Antique item from the 19th century

• Materials: Leather, Metal, Crystal

These antique green babouche slippers were worn on special occasions, perhaps even by a groom on his wedding day. The metallic threads would have been imported to the central Anti Atlas region, the leather would have been hand-shaped and sown by master craftsmen and the incorporation of protective and talismanic stones were used to ward off any harmful forces. Time and wear have caused the metallic threads to lose their luster, but the shoes still retain their original beauty and intrigue. 

Wear consistent with age and use. In good condition.

Measures: 31.2 cm tall, 10 cm wide, 10 cm deep
