Boots from bride's ensemble

These beautifully soft leather boots are lined with white cotton and button up the sides with six white glass buttons set along a scalloped edging.

They were part of a wedding outfit worn by Sarah Durrad (nee Stephens) when she wed in London in 1872. The outfit consists of a dress that has both a day and evening bodice, a parasol, a pair of pure silk stockings and pair of cream kid-leather ankle boots.
