RARE 1870s Victorian Italian Lady's Opera Shoes. Hand made. In amazing condition for their age. Over 150 years old! I placed tissue paper in the shoes to aid in photographing them, and replaced the missing ribbon tie. All original except for the ribbon tie. Stamped on the sole "M. Forte Naples". I was able to find a high end maker of shoes named Matteo Forte working in the 1870s and after in Naples. Their shoes were exhibited at the major European Expositions of the peior. Partially worn labels inside the shoes with 1870s date (see close up photos). The sole is 8 3/4" long, and very narrow..2 1/4" across the widest part.
