EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite pair of woman's shoe buckles, hailing from England and dating back to the 1780-1785 period, showcases the intricate craftsmanship and artistic flair of the 18th century. The buckles, made of silver steel, are adorned with an abundance of paste stones, adding a touch of elegance and allure. The geometric design, popular during the Georgian era, is a testament to the fashion trends of the time. The shoes these buckles would have once secured were likely carriage boots, a fashionable choice for women during the late 1700s. The boots were typically knee-high, laced up the front, and featured a pointed toe. The buckles would have been attached to the front of the boot, securing the laces and adding an extra layer of style. The use of paste stones was a common practice during this time, as real diamonds and other precious gems were expensive and not accessible to everyone. Paste stones were made from glass or other materials, allowing for the creation of elaborate and intricate designs at a more affordable price. This pair of shoe buckles is a prime example of the historic fashion trends and artistic techniques of the 18th century. The intricate design, use of paste stones, and historical significance make this a valuable addition to any collection of 18th century accessories or costume history.
