Pair of traditional Ottoman shoes XIX e

Pair of mojari or khussa, traditional shoes in finely crafted leather, typical of North India, Pakistan and the Ottoman Empire. These shoes, historically worn by the nobility and aristocracy, are distinguished by their curved toe, a symbol of refinement and elegance.

Features :

• Material: soft black dyed leather, red leather interior
• Ornamentation: delicate embroideries in golden wire, testifying to an exceptional craftsmanship
• Sole: Rigid, hand-sewn leather
• Style: Ottoman influence with stylized floral patterns

Historical background :

The Mojari were luxury shoes popular in the royal courts of the Mughal Empire (16th-19th century) and spread to the Ottoman and Persian territories through trade and cultural exchanges. These shoes were often made to order for members of the nobility and could be enriched with precious stones, enamel or silk.
Today, these shoes are sought-after pieces, both for their historical value and their unique aesthetic. They can be displayed in a private collection, museum or used for historical reconstructions.

Condition : Good general condition with a beautiful patina of the time, some traces of wear consistent with the age of the piece.

Dimensions :
30 cm long
9 cm off the shoe
