Erté Striped Toe Pump Shoe Ornament
Artful ornaments make great gifts.
Our eye-catching shoe ornament recalls a 1934 illustration of a turquoise pump decorated with black-and-white swirls and stripes. The pump was designed by Delman's Shoes, New York; while its likeness was drawn by Romain de Tirtoff (French, b. Russia, 1892–1990), better known as Erté. Erté enjoyed a multifaceted career as a costume and set designer, and he's especially renowned for the magazine covers he created for Harper's Bazaar between 1915 and 1936. The Met houses an important collection of Erté's original gouaches, which exemplify his unparalleled Art Deco designs. Presented each holiday season since 1997, our collectible shoe ornaments dress up any tree or elevate your living space year-round.
