Evening slippers 1845 - 1865

"Evening Slippers" is a pair of delicately crafted slippers made of pale pink satin, likely worn for an evening event in the 19th century. The slippers, crafted by P. Rouillier between 1845 and 1865, feature a simple yet elegant design, tied with a bow at the front and lined with a pale yellow fabric. This pair of slippers, now on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, provides a glimpse into the fashion sensibilities of the 19th century.
