Evening pumps
Manufacturer H. Jantzen Shoe Co. American

The classic evening pump of the first decade of the 20th century is nicely illustrated by this pair in showy bronze kidskin. Bronze-tone was the only widely used metallic leather finish up to this time and, when beaded, usually paired with copper-tone beads. The spider web design incorporated in the beadwork is less common that floral or foliate motifs and therefore of particular interest.
