Large Antique Carved Wooden Boot With Many Nail Buttons century of progress exhibition and extremely viscerally satisfyingI'm never quire sure with a carved boot of this near full sized scale whether it was a folk creation or a cobbler's display piece, but whatever the case, all those tiny nails running up the length of the front, as if just waiting to be laced, really do it for me. There's a corresponding trail of nail punched holes (recesses) running along side them, and more of the same decorating the toe and sides. Nicely carved heel too. 8" l x 5 1 4" t x 2 3 8" w.
