Something special for today's edition of #FootcandyFriday from the Victoria and Albert Museum: A pair of painted kid leather latchet shoes (c. 1760s) possibly made in Brussels. The painted botanical decoration, with its "vertical lines & scalloped edges resembles Brussels bobbin lace." Stunning shoes, creatively photographed. Victoria & Albert Museum, Acc. # 270&A-1891

A fall #footcandyfriday: early 18thc buckle shoes w/ autumnal hues & bright palette. #Bargello or #flame stitch embroidery was popular in 17thc & 18thc Frequently associated w/ accessories —pocketbooks and purses— flame stitch provides a geometric burst of color. @metmuseum

A personal favorite for #FestiveFootcandyFriday: Adding to my virtual closet...Women's plaid Oxford pumps sold at Bergdorf Goodman, c. 1942. Love everything about these from the plaid upper to the chunky heel #wrapthemupilltakethem Via @LACMA

#FootcandyFriday: Returning to #collections is like visiting old friends. I first saw these red silk satin, linen-lined buckle shoes around 2015 @moffattladd. Circa 1780s, they were possibly worn in New Hampshire and made in England. Earlier in the week my @unhhistory #museumstudies students & I visited the house with the Director @ericajmcavoy You can read more about these lovelies in #TreasuresAfoot #shoestoriesfromthegeorgianera @hopkinspress 2018.

#FootcandyFriday: I have always been enamored of these shoes....visually pleasing; balanced design. Delightful buckle #shoes are #embroidered (on linen) with polychrome wools in cross stitch and tent stitch, and feature a short, stout French heel; Great Britain, 1730s-1740s. Maker and wearer unknown. More: http://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O74390/pair-of-shoes-unknown/ @victoriaandalbertmuseum

#FootcandyFriday: These delightful British wedding slippers (noted as such via the Metropolitan Museum) were made by “Soames, Ladies Shoe Maker, London.” They are typical of their day: leather slippers with a low heel and all the energy focused at the toe. A wonderful fringy silk tassel captures the eye and surely would have been noticed as one promenaded or danced across the floor. The work of Soames is similar to shoes by Bragg & Luckin, and Hoppe, both of Londan. Examples of their work survives at The Bostonian Society, the Royal Ontario Museum and the Smithsonian Institute to name just a few. More:

A late edition of #FootcandyFriday: The Massachusetts Historical Society has some lovely wedding shoes & dancing slippers in their collection & I was fortunate to work with them as guest curator for ‘Fashioning the New England Family’ in 2018-2019. Here, a detail of a fine ivory wool #weddingshoe with faded blue satin #silk rosette & ankle ties, straight- lasted with spring heel, c.1859. #fashioningthenewenglandfamily
