Antique Gold Embroidered Woman’s Velvet Slippers: C19th Philippines wedding Kalamkari hand painted and blockedItem Details. From the Far East, possibly the Philippines a pair of fine hand embroidered black velvet slippers dating from the second half of the 19th century. I often wish that the things that we buy would speak and tell us a story. And amazingly these do! Handwritten in a shaky hand (and inaccurate) is written These slippers came from Tokyo Japan at the close of the Spanish American wars in the Philippines in 1899 cc Brought back by Col. Boyd Wales
