Shoes, Boots and Heels Limoges Boxes
Shoes, boots and heels Limoges boxes line up like a closet worth showing off. Victorian ladies boots arrive in green, black and white stripes, pinstripes and painted roses. Next to them sit a Rochard stiletto, a cheetah print shoe, a zebra striped pump and a pink shoe trimmed with a green feather. The boot rack runs well past the ballroom. Western cowboy boots come in red and Rochard tan, a yellow riding boot waits by the stable, and ski boots are ready for the lift line.
A Converse style tennis shoe and a pair of porcelain sneakers keep it casual, while a Dutch wooden clog arrives with tulips. A few shoes carry company, like a white cat tucked into pink or another curled in a plaid boot. Each shoe is shaped in porcelain from Limoges, France, then painted by hand down to the stitching and laces, and a hinged lid opens at the ankle or the toe, and a small clasp holds it closed. Give a cowboy boot to the rancher in the family, or a stiletto to the woman who knows her heels. Ballet pointe shoes suit a dancer after her first recital.
