FAQs

Victorian horse lawn shoes, sometimes known as turf shoes or bog shoes, were protective leather boots strapped onto a horses hooves to prevent the animal from damaging manicured lawns or sinking into soft turf during garden maintenance.

These items were typically constructed from heavy-duty vegetable-tanned bovine leather, secured with iron rivets, brass buckles, and hand-stitched seams designed to withstand the considerable weight and movement of a working horse.

Authenticity is identified through period-correct tanning methods, hand-hammered iron or brass fixings, dry patinated leather with natural cracking, and specific sizing proportions suited for historical working equines rather than modern riding ponies.

Displaying historical artefacts as sculptural objects on bookshelves, mantels, or within cabinets adds texture, historical narrative, and a touch of rural heritage to contemporary living spaces.

Leather artefacts should be kept away from direct sunlight, excessive moisture, and fluctuating temperatures. Applying a museum-grade microcrystalline wax can help preserve the hide without altering its dry historic patina.
