Wonderful pair of antique wooden clogs from Holland, displaying the heavy wear and character expected from traditional working footwear. These are solid wood clogs with hollowed interiors, raised heels and traditional curved/pointed toes. The wood has developed an excellent naturally aged surface and patina from years of use. One of the most interesting features is the original stamped marking inside the clog, supporting the Holland/Dutch origin. These appear to be genuine utilitarian wooden footwear rather than newer decorative souvenir clogs. The small holes located along the inside-facing sides of the shoes appear intentional and may have originally been associated with an attached component or the construction of the footwear. Approximate era: Late 19th to early 20th century Origin: Holland / Netherlands Material: Solid wood Style: Traditional Dutch work clog / folk footwear Great for. European folk-art collection. Primitive/antique décor. Dutch heritage collection. Wooden shoe collection. Farmhouse or rustic décor. Historical footwear collection The considerable wear is part of the appeal of this pair-they have the appearance of clogs that were genuinely worn and used rather than simply made as decorations.
