This stunning pair of women's shoes, hailing from the 1770s, offers a captivating glimpse into the fashionable world of the Rococo era. The shoes, created during the 18th century, are a testament to the opulence and elegance of this iconic period in European history. The shoes, crafted from silk brocade leather and silk, feature intricate floral designs that reflect the ornate and decorative style of the Rococo era. The carriage boots, as they are also known, are adorned with delicate flowers and scrolling vines, adding to their feminine allure.
