Getting started with the collection:
Shoe Buckles with Case
anonymous, c. 1775 - c. 1800
Men’s shoes in the 18th century were quite plain in both shape and material. However, they could be decorated with buckles like these, which are made of silver and set with rhinestones. They even have their own pouch, suggesting they were used on special occasions, rather than every day.
