Evening slippers 1845 - 1865

"Evening slippers" is a pair of black satin slippers created by Gundry & Sons sometime between 1845 and 1865, and are currently part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s collection in New York. The slippers are made of black satin and have a simple, elegant design, with a pointed toe and a lace-up closure. They are a good example of the fashionable footwear worn by women in the mid-19th century. The slippers' simple design speaks to the elegance of the era and showcases the craftsmanship of Gundry & Sons.
