This genuine antique pair of black leather lace-up boots dates to the late Victorian or early Edwardian era and features a striking, geometric cutout design along the shafts as shown in the photos. One of the insoles retains a clear, stamped maker's mark for the historic San Francisco, California retailer Sommer & Kaufmann, which can be viewed in detail in the photos, while the other insole does not have this branding. Both boots contain factory numbers stamped into the interior lining, visible in the photos, reading 1033 44604 1087. The leather shows beautiful character and typical aging, with the outsoles measuring approximately nine and a half inches in length according to the photos and just under three inches at the widest part of the ball as shown in the photos. These rare pieces of West Coast fashion history are perfect for serious antique textile collectors, historical costumers, or unique archival display.
