#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
