Early Nineteenth Century Silk Slippers Greetings Card
Experience the elegance of the early nineteenth century with this hand-drawn card featuring a delicate pen, ink and watercolour illustration that showcases a charming arrangement of Regency silk slippers, drawn from originals.
These ladies’ pumps, popular throughout the nineteenth century, were typically made from fine materials including silk, satin and kid leather and were often adorned with intricate embroidery or decorative details. Generally reserved for dancing or for more conspicuous occasions, they were flat or had a very slight heel. These shoes were not, however, hard wearing and a lady could get through many pairs over the course of a season.
This lively illustration is based on dress historian Eleanor Houghton’s close examination of numerous pairs of early to mid nineteenth century shoes.
Printed on high-quality card stock, the inside has been left blank for your personal message, making it suitable for any occasion.
