Shoes: probably worn by Lady Mary Stanhope (1660)

Women’s Velvet Shoes
Made of blue velvet and embroidered with silver gilt thread, these shoes must have been worn for a special occasion. The latchets would have tied across the tongue with a decorative ribbon possibly gold in colour.

Story:
Could these shoes have been worn during the celebrations, which took place after the Restoration of Charles II in 1660?

Lady Mary was the wife of Sir John Stanhope of Elvaston Castle in Derbyshire. After Sir John’s death in 1638 she married Sir John Gell. She seems to have kept her links with the Stanhope family after she married again.
