About the Item

Exquisite Pair of Hand-Embroidered Late 20th Century Indian Leather Slippers in the Mughal Style A magnificent pair of hand-stitched and hand-tooled leather slippers, lavishly adorned with gilt metallic thread in intricate Mughal-inspired motifs. These opulent shoes—known as mojari or khussa—feature the iconic upturned curled toes that were historically favored in the royal courts of the Mughal Empire (1526–1857). This style, steeped in Islamic, Persian, Turkish, and Moorish artistic influences, became synonymous with regal splendor and elite status. The excessive gold embroidery—meticulously executed by hand—signifies affluence, ceremonial importance, and refined taste. Crafted from supple leather with hand-stitched soles and richly embellished tops, this pair is not only a work of art but also a rare collector’s item. Ideal for display or ceremonial wear, they embody exceptional craftsmanship and decorative finesse. Dimensions: 12" L x 4" W x 4" H (to top of toe curl). Also known as Salim Shahi shoes, named after Prince Salim (later Emperor Jahangir, son of Akbar the Great), these shoes exemplify a fashion innovation that became a lasting cultural symbol of prestige and elegance. A truly sumptuous example of traditional Indian luxury footwear—fit for a Maharaja and designed to impress.
