A delicate example of traditional Chinese women's footwear, these Manchu shoes date back to the late Qing Dynasty (late 19th century).
Crafted from embroidered silk with leather linings and soles, they exemplify the refinement of traditional attire and the skill of the era's textile artisans.


Manchu footwear is distinguished by its characteristic shapes and the use of decorative fabrics, often embellished with intricate embroidery. Designed for women, these shoes offer fascinating insight into the material culture of Imperial China and the sartorial customs of Manchu communities.


This pair retains remnants of the red pom-poms originally attached to them—details that add to the object's historical charm.
