We are thrilled to share that the iconic ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz will be on show at Heritage Auctions in London from today, 28 November, until 2 December.
About
Heritage Auctions is holding a major sale of Hollywood memorabilia next week and ahead of the auction, the ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz will be on display at their London office in Hanover Street.
The slippers are one of four pairs used in the 1939 film. Heritage Auctions explain: “The Ruby Slippers are a vintage pair of Innes Shoe Co. red silk faille heels with uppers and heels covered with hand-sequined silk georgette, lined in white leather, and the leather soles are painted red with orange felt adhered to the front foundation of each shoe.
“The bows are made of hand-cut buckram cloth and are slightly different in size. Rhinestones rim the bows, which are filled with bugle beads surrounding three center jewels.”
The shoes are on display Monday – Friday from 10am until 6pm, until 2 December. Heritage Auctions can be found at 10 Hanover Street, W1S 1YQ.
