Description

This unusual mechanical shoe last by Lacoste Villeneuve-Sur-Lot is made of painted cast iron with a brass shoe form. The shoe section would have originally opened and closed but no longer moves.

This French industrial boot last has Lacoste cast on one side and Villeneuve-Sur-Lot on the other. There is a number 16 impressed on the top of the brass shoe form and the base can be bolted to a work bench.

The whole piece has an over engineered feel, is very heavy and well made which makes it perfect for a statement piece.

Would make a super decorative item for a shoe shop, bar or home decor. Would also make a very nice and unusual door stop.
