This pair of ladies’ shoes, created by Hon Sing between c. 1790 and 1815, are a striking example of early 19th century footwear. The shoes are made of a dark, patterned fabric with delicate, white bows at the toe. Their pointed shape and simple design exemplify the elegance and refinement of the period. This artwork, measuring 24.8 cm in length, 5.9 cm in width, and 1 cm in height, offers a glimpse into the fashion trends and craftsmanship of the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
Comments
These flat, silk shoes were very delicate; they were usually ruined after just a single night’s dancing. To protect shoes from the dust, mud and stones on the unpaved roads, overshoes were worn with a metal platform under the sole. China was traditionally the greatest producer of silk. After a Dutch East India Company trading post was established in Canton (1728), silk shoes were also exported to Europe.
