A delicate pair of vintage Chinese lotus shoes, richly decorated with floral embroidery, patterned textile panels and softly faded metallic-style trims. Small, sculptural and deeply evocative, they are best suited as a collectible textile object or decorative vintage display piece.

This pair of vintage Chinese lotus shoes is a beautifully intricate textile collectible, full of delicate embroidery and timeworn character. Traditionally associated with Chinese bound-foot footwear, the shoes feature a small pointed silhouette, covered heels and richly layered fabric panels in muted green, purple, silver and soft antique tones.

The surface is decorated with floral embroidery, patterned borders and metallic-style trims, creating a refined and highly ornamental look. Tiny blossoms in cream, pink, orange and green thread add softness to the aged textile surface, while visible fraying and wear speak to the piece’s history. Due to their fragile condition and small scale, these lotus shoes are intended for collection, display, styling or decorative use rather than wear.

A one of a kind vintage treasure for collectors of textile history, antique accessories and curated vintage objects. Only one available.

A note on vintage: every piece has lived a life before. Minor signs of time are part of its story and uniqueness.
