Crafted with exceptional care, the boots retain their original four-piece wooden boot trees—each marked with an “L” or “R” to distinguish left from right. The leather is richly aged, with a soft sheen and gentle creasing that speaks to decades of use and polish. Inside, the maker’s name is still visible, a subtle hallmark of their bespoke origin. Designed for the English countryside and made to withstand its demands, these boots are both utilitarian and undeniably elegant.

Whether gifted to the equestrian in your life or displayed by the hearth of a country house, they carry with them the romance of the field—the early morning fog, the rustle of tack, the quiet discipline of the ride. A rare and evocative pair that brings character and charm to any interior. See less
