    It is a rare event to find two pairs of lotus shoes in such good condition. Wedding gifts were always given in pairs as part of a dowry. Most pairs were split up over the years and sold separately but we were Lucky to find a complete set of two pairs in an old collection in
    Shanghai
    in 2010. The shoes date from around 1900. The workmanship is very fine. The front parts are embroidered with flowers and the soles show that the shoes were never used. length 14.4 cm. Width 5 cm. Height 7.7 cm.
