EDUARDO DIAZ Evening Pumps, Madrid, ca. 1918
Wow! What shoes. For a long time, these are the most elegant evening shoes we have held in our hands. Gold print on the insole: Eduardo Diaz * Calzado de Lujo (Luxury Shoes) * Barquillo 4 * Madrid. In fact, these are luxury shoes. Two coats of arms of European royal/aristocratic houses and three gold medals in international competitions frame the lettering with the name of the shoemaker. The shoes are made of black silk, beautifully embroidered with a motif of flowers, leaves and vines. For this purpose, silver-colored small sequins and metal beads were used. Silver color is also the border of the shoe. For the age: excellent condition. Subtle wear marks on the leather sole. Minor bead loss in both shoe tips. Decoration is not included. A rare piece of European shoe history.
