They date from the … more A very unusual pair of English Victorian shell decorated boxes in the form of ladies' shoes. They date from the middle of the 19th century. During that time period it was in vogue for refined ladies spending their summers at the sea shore to participate in crafts including the making of shell decorated boxes. These boxes are very unusual in that they are shoe shaped rather than the much more common rectangular and round boxes usually found. Further they are in a very good state of preservation with the loss of just a few shells and with the paper hinges of their lids still intact althought these are very fragile. Finally, each box contains on its heel a portion of a period post card as decoration, a very unusual feature for this type of box. less
