100 year old bronzed baby shoes


"8,000-year-old shoes found in a Missouri cave show that footwear fashion is nothing new - and is in fact much older than anyone thought, scientists said."
"The shoes were found in a cave on a Missouri River bluff near Columbia about 40 years ago, but the relics in the cave were all jumbled up, making them hard to date. However, they are very well-preserved and tell a lot about shoe fashions in prehistoric times."
"The shoes are complete, you can certainly tell which foot they were on. You can feel toe impressions on the inside. They wore out in the same way ours do. We have found repair holes on them."
Our shoes in the picture are only 100 years old. They are bronzed with a 24 k gold finish so they too can stay well-preserved to be passed on to next generations. At the back of the shoes you can see that they had been mended with a thick thread

Yes the people at the Bronzing Studio can help you own a beautiful masterpiece.
You name it, we Bronze it is our slogan.
