Pair Of Terracotta Shoes - Early 1900s
Pair of Terracotta Shoes - Early 1900s
An intriguing pair of terracotta shoes, modeled with great sculptural power and characterized by a striking textured surface, enhanced by natural color variations in shades of brown, ochre, and green.
The two shoes, rendered in three dimensions, echo the style of ancient footwear, with particular attention paid to the structure of the upper, the overlapping bands, and the sole.
The deliberately irregular craftsmanship and weathered surface lend the pieces a remarkable archaeological and decorative character.
The presence of an antique patina, with evident signs of age, accentuates the charm of the two works and underscores their collectible value.
A highly evocative pair, particularly suited for a collection of ancient art, antique curiosities, or objects of archaeological interest, capable of lending personality to a library, a study, or a formal reception room.
Material: terracotta
Dimensions: 12 x 6 cm – height 7.5 cm
Period: early 20th century
Provenance: from a private collection
