Rare pair of American wedding boots, ca. 1860. The boots are made of satin silk in the colour cream. Lacing at the sides. Flat toe area. Heel made of wood covered with leather. Very well preserved. Replaced lacing. Inside marked with the name "Houldin" (perhaps the traditional name of a wearer). Abrasion in the silk of the right boot in the area of the lacing. Probably the lacings rubbed against each other while walking. For the age and sensitivity of the silk: an exceptional condition.
