This pair of brown leather pumps with a scalloped edge is a beautiful example of mid-20th-century footwear design, likely created by A. van Goethem sometime between 1950 and 1960. The shoes, crafted from a rich brown leather with a subtle textured pattern, feature a sleek, pointed toe and a modest heel. The elegant scalloped edge along the top of the shoe adds a touch of sophistication, highlighting the craftsmanship involved in their creation. Currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, this artifact offers insight into fashion trends and footwear styles prevalent during the mid-20th century.
Comments
Alfred van Goethem made Mrs Brusse-Urtebise’s shoes for over 30 years. While the models changed little in the course of time, small differences can nonetheless be discerned. For instance, in the 1950s the heel was thinner and the toe was pointed, which created a more slender look.
