About the Item

A finely modeled pair of cast bronze men’s lace-up shoes, likely mid-20th century, showcasing remarkable realism and craftsmanship. Each shoe is sculpted in solid bronze with a warm dark patina and intricate detailing that captures the character of classic oxford dress shoes—complete with stitched seams, laces, and gently contoured forms. Adding to their lifelike quality, the shoes are finished with textured black rubber soles, giving them a subtly mixed-media construction and a striking contrast between the metallic uppers and matte tread. This unexpected detail enhances both the visual and tactile appeal of the pair. Substantial in weight and presence, these shoes make a distinctive decorative sculpture, bookend set, or desk accessory—a witty and elegant conversation piece for any interior
