Title: Sowerby shoe - ? pattern

So nice to have a pair - but unfortunately not my size.  One of the shoes has the peacock mark clearly seen on the inside base, but the other is indistinct.  Is this patterning "daisy & button"?   I'm guessing these date to around the same period as the plainer shoe with just a bow shown in their 1895 catalogue (Glen's CDR), but this one isn't featured.

Hi Anne - it actually is on our CDrom. It's illustrated in Volume One. Look for the 1895 Pattern Book and go to page 4. You will see the shoe illustrated on that page. The pattern suite is called the 1921 suite.

Nice piece!
