This charming photograph captures the image of a pair of boys' slippers from the 19th century, circa 1800 to 1850. The exact creator of these intricately designed slippers remains unknown, adding to their historical allure. The slippers feature a combination of various textiles and materials, showcasing the richness and diversity of European fashion during this era. The base of the slippers is made of cotton canvas, a popular choice for children's footwear due to its durability and breathability. The canvas is adorned with wool needlepoint berlin work, a technique that involves using a needle to weave wool threads onto a fabric base. This technique was commonly used in Europe during the 18th and 19th centuries to create decorative designs on various textiles. The slippers also feature wool plain weave and silk plain weave sections, adding to their textural complexity. The leather soles provide both functionality and protection, making these slippers a practical choice for the active lifestyle of a young boy. The design of the slippers is patterned, with geometric shapes and intricate floral motifs that reflect the artistic sensibilities of the time. The use of multiple colors and shades adds visual interest and depth to the slippers, making them a standout piece of historic children's wear. These boys' slippers offer a glimpse into the fashion trends and textile techniques of the 19th century, providing a fascinating window into European heritage and history.
