Victorian Emerald Green Velvet Shoe – Louis Heel & Paste Button | Victorian Ceramic Tondi | Unique Collectible Ornament
Simply severe in style. Gloriously rich in material. We do not know her name. We know her rank was considerable, her toilette impeccable, and her taste for emerald green absolute.
This deep emerald green velvet shoe, made to match the gorgeous sweeping folds of its owner’s costume, is restraint in service of splendor. Victorian collector T.W. Greig noted the apparent contradiction with characteristic precision: simply severe in style, which the richness of material demands. The paste button is neat and good, and too modest in size to publish its own failure in competition with the jewels due to the rank and toilette of the wearer. The Louis heel, velvet-covered to match, completes a shoe that understood its place in a very grand outfit.
Now captured in gleaming ceramic, this nearly 3” tondi brings this anonymous aristocrat’s magnificent shoe into your home. Perfect for a Christmas tree, a collector’s display, or as a gift for the person whose own taste runs to the simply severe and gloriously rich . . . and it ships free!
✨ Part of The Last & Slipper collection from Tondo Designs, these small ceramic keepsakes carry the spirit of vintage art into your everyday spaces. One is splendid, but imagine the whole collection sparkling together.
