17th-19th century A.D.Sold for (Inc. bp): £98

From the collection of the famous author, writer and speaker, Gordon Bailey, Essex, UK; formed since 1968.
Iron pattens first came into use probably in 17th century A.D., and gained popularity during the first half of that century. The original design of the patten was as one piece of shaped wood attached beneath the sole of the shoe; this evolved into to a wooden platform attached to the underside of an iron ring. The pattens were thus forerunners of the Wellington boot which came into use in the 19th century A.D.
