AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
10 pairs (20 objects) of custom shoe molds from a cobbler's old workshop.
A rare and fascinating collection of original wooden shoemaker forms, silent witnesses to an ancient knowledge, crafted by skilled hands, patience, and precision. Each piece bears the marks of time and work: handwritten numbers, traces of use, small imperfections that are not flaws but authentic memories of the workshop.
These forms are not merely objects: they are tools of creation, born to bring to life custom shoes, shaped to fit the foot and the person, when each pair was unique and unrepeatable. The wood, smoothed and worn in the right places, tells of years of daily use, trials, adjustments, and artisanal care.
Placed together, they create a powerful and spectacular visual impact, perfect for:
shop windows, atelier, or showroom
Interior arrangements in industrial, vintage, or wabi-sabi style.
creative studios, museums, photo or theater sets
Collectors of objects related to the world of footwear and Italian craftsmanship.
Each shape is different from the others, with unique proportions, heights, and silhouettes: a variety that makes the lot extremely decorative and full of personality. They are neither reproductions nor new objects: they are original, lived-in, genuine.
Owning this set means bringing a fragment of history into your home, a tribute to manual craftsmanship and the beauty of things made to last. Objects that do not follow trends but cross them, maintaining their charm intact.
An ideal lot for those seeking authenticity, character, and soul.
Aesthetically very well preserved, it shows some signs due to time and use, vintage objects, as seen in the photos.
Highly decorative objects with great vintage charm. Ideal for furnishing lofts, gyms, bars, or artisan workshops.
Entirely handcrafted in carved wood, each one with different shapes and features based on the customer's foot.
Judging by the bizarre shapes of their feet, they likely date back to the period after World War II. At that time, strenuous work in the countryside was common, and the parts most affected by the heaviness of the labor were the lower limbs. Industrial.
Aesthetically well-preserved vintage items, treated against woodworm and coated with clear impregnant. Conditions as shown in the photos, which are an integral part of the description.
Measurements: ranging from 29x10x15 cm to 23x9x15 cm.
