House of F. Pinet (French, founded 1855)Description
A pair of women’s heeled boots in pearly beige silk, attributed to Countess Jeanne de PRIN. Each shoe features a high, close-fitting upper with a scalloped barrette fastening framing a vertical row of small pearlised buttons. The elongated, pointed squared toe and slender Louis heel create an elegant and distinctly feminine silhouette characteristic of the period. The silk retains a light patina consistent with age. The pair exemplifies the structured elegance and fine craftsmanship associated with fashionable women’s footwear of the late Victorian and early Edwardian eras and was likely intended for formal indoor wear or possibly for a bridal ensemble.Materials
