Wooden Shoe Clothes Brush Souvenir of Holland

Collectibles : Decorative

 

Unique and useful! Wooden shoe painted with windmill and floral decorations. Tucked into the shoe is a clothes brush with painted windmill scene. The set could be used on a dresser or hung by the little hook on the back. The brush has never been used - there are no little fibers in it anywhere. Some of the bristles are out of shape from being tucked so long inside the shoe. The finish on the shoe is excellent - no scratches or scuffs. There is a hole drilled in the inside of the shoe. Perhaps at one time it was one of a pair and this is where they were tied?

The handle of the brush is also excellent but for some reason neither of the ends of the wood were finished. The finish is not worn off, it was just never there.

The shoe measures a dainty 7" long by 3" wide. The brush is 5" long and 1 1/8" high including wood and bristles.
