THE LEATHER UPPER DISPLAYS NATURAL PATINA WITH COLOUR VARIATION FROM LIGHTER COGNAC TONES TO DEEPER BURGUNDY, INDICATING GENUINE AGE AND OXIDATION OF THE LEATHER. THE SURFACE SHOWS CREASING, SCUFFING, AND MINOR SCRATCHES THROUGHOUT, PARTICULARLY TO THE TOE BOX AND SIDES. THE BROGUE PERFORATIONS AND DETAILING REMAIN CRISP AND WELL-DEFINED. THE LEATHER LINING SHOWS WEAR AND DISCOLOURATION FROM USE. THE RUBBER SOLE RETAINS ITS TREAD PATTERN BUT SHOWS MODERATE WEAR AND COMPRESSION MARKS TO THE HEEL, CONSISTENT WITH REGULAR WEAR OVER SEVERAL DECADES. NO MAJOR STRUCTURAL DAMAGE OR REPAIRS ARE EVIDENT. THE BOOTS REMAIN WEARABLE, THOUGH THE CONDITION REFLECTS THEIR VINTAGE STATUS AND USE HISTORY.

PROVENANCE: PRIVATE COLLECTION. THESE BOOTS REPRESENT A PERIOD WHEN TED BAKER LONDON WAS ESTABLISHING ITS REPUTATION FOR QUALITY ENGLISH FOOTWEAR DESIGN, BEFORE THE BRAND'S EXPANSION INTO BROADER FASHION CATEGORIES.

NOTE: THESE ARE GENUINE VINTAGE BOOTS WITH AUTHENTIC PATINA AND WEAR. THE CONDITION REFLECTS HONEST USE AND AGE RATHER THAN RESTORATION OR ARTIFICIAL DISTRESSING. SUITABLE FOR COLLECTORS OF VINTAGE ENGLISH FOOTWEAR OR THOSE SEEKING AUTHENTIC PERIOD PIECES WITH GENUINE CHARACTER.
