[ This description is from the project: Fashioning the New England Family ]

These two shoes--one each of a pair--belonged to Sarah Dutton Leverett Tuttle (b. 1835) and were manufactured by Viault-Este, a prolific mid-19th century French shoemaker. Delicate flats, covered in silk with knock on heels, the 1860 wedding shoe features a delicate ribbon and lace rosette; the dancing shoe is accented with a cheerful pink silk bow.
