Lot #200: Antique Turn-of-the-Century Leather High-Top Lace-Up Boots – As-Is / Study & Display

A striking piece of footwear history! This is an authentic pair of late Victorian to early Edwardian (circa 1890s–1910s) women’s high-top lace-up boots. Crafted with two-tone leather, they feature a rich, heavily distressed brown leather upper contrasted by a distinct textured black leather cap toe and lower trim. With their classic almond-shaped toes, low stacked block heels, and original speed-hook/eyelet configuration, these boots epitomize the "Granny boot" silhouette of the turn of the century. They feature a durable canvas interior lining. While they are no longer in wearable condition due to their age, they possess immense character and historical charm. They are highly sought after by historical collectors, textile curators, theater costume departments, or as an evocative rustic/gothic decor piece. Pickup category timeslot {A}
