They have a low cut front with a square toe and a low heel. Three tabs project from each side of the she across the instep and are laced through with a cord of twisted metal thread. Lined throughout with red leather.\r\n\r\nShoe trees of polished wood, each constructed in two halves. The wedge-shaped heel section has a metal runner, and there is a corresponding channel in the main section which is thus slid down into the shoe. The area which remains visible when the shoe tree is in position is protected by a metal plate.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"patent leather","id":"AAT193362"},{"text":"grosgrain","id":"x32508"}],"techniques":[{"text":"shoe-making","id":"x40339"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Patent leather, grosgrain, lined with leather, polished wood","categories":[{"text":"Footwear","id":"THES48951"},{"text":"Fashion","id":"THES48957"},{"text":"Clothing","id":"THES48975"},{"text":"Accessories","id":"THES48998"},{"text":"Woodwork","id":"THES48877"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"T&F","id":"THES48601"},"images":["2006AW2033","2006AL5052","2015HR0968"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"004","id":"THES327520"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""},{"current":{"text":"004","id":"THES327520"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""},{"current":{"text":"005","id":"THES327521"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""},{"current":{"text":"005","id":"THES327521"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Shoe","id":""}],[{"text":"Shoe","id":""}],[{"text":"Shoe tree","id":""}],[{"text":"Shoe tree","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Italy","id":"x28927"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"ca. 1920","earliest":"1915-01-01","latest":"1924-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Given by Sybil, Lady Cholmondeley","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"7.7","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"shoe","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"7.3","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"shoe","note":""},{"dimension":"Length","value":"26.2","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"shoe","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Pair of patent leather shoes and polished wood shoe trees, Italy, ca. 1920.","bibliographicReferences":[{"reference":{"text":"<i>Fashion : An Anthology by Cecil Beaton</i>.
