REDUCED.  Ribbon Embroidery & Stumpwork of Ladies’ Antique High Top Button Up Shoe with Sterling Silver Button Hook , 9 Black Heart Buttons, 20 White and Pink Buttons with Silk White & Pink Calla Lilies & seed beads. Off White Heart are Vintage Angora and Vintage Black Velvet with Trim. I made an applique of shoe of black shark skin fabric & black silk. Then cut and sewed in shape of Victorian Boot and used white, clear & silver beads to put it highlights of shoe. I padded under shoe where ankle would be (stump work padding).
The button hook is marked "Sterling" on top right. As it is sealed under glass, it should not tarnish any more. 20 different antique & Vintage White & pink buttons were use including crocheted, Mother of pearl, etched & carved glass, rhinestone, faux pearl etched shell, molded cameo glass, MOP with steel chips. Just to name a few.
This is framed in 16" x 12" x 1 1/2" black metal frame under glass. If you prefer it without the glass before shipping, just email me.  
This is a very 3 D picture. Most of the buttons are not just flat. Also the button hook handle is quite thick. The cardboard does protrude some from the back as picture is so thick. It was difficult to get in Glass frame. Which explains why I keep getting flash back in picture. Be sure to see the 9 matching puffy plastic hearts that shoe would button with. The best I could do was get a flash back in different place each time. There is no discoloring of off white angora or black Velvet!
