1900s Edwardian German Women's Leather Lace Up Boots

Dating to approximately 1903–1915, these women’s German Hassia 13-eye lace-up boots belong to the refined everyday footwear of the Edwardian period. The interior retains the original Hassia — Gesetzlich geschützte Marke labels and the circular mark commemorating the company’s gold medal at Düsseldorf in 1902. Written inside is the name of their former owner, Nina, followed by her surname—a small personal trace preserved for more than a century.

Made from exceptionally pleasant, soft and lightweight black leather, the boots remain supple rather than hardened. Their narrow profile, sculpted heels and delicately stitched toes give them an unusually elegant shape. The leather carries fine scratches, creasing and natural surface wear, while warm brown tones have begun to emerge along the most exposed areas.

Remarkably, the original brown laces have also survived, although only a short section remains on one boot. Despite their considerable age, the pair is preserved in excellent antique condition, with the structure, lining, labels and distinctive early construction still intact.

Designed for a narrow foot.
