Silver child's shoes

Hello. Does anyone have any info on what these shoes are for ?
They are child's shoes . I don't know their value ?
Or where they could be from. Have been informed maybe Child's shoes for a Turkish wedding , and possible silver.

 

Looks more decorative then functional. And if silver there would be a marking somewhere as sterling has to be .925 to be classified as such. Maybe pewter? Seems it's very thin and wrapped around a wood frame. Plus shoe straps and shoe coverings are just attached with "nails" - so thats why I question functional shoes not to mention the pain all that design would put on someone's feet.

 

@ Rayo56 There are no requirements that precious metals be stamped for content in the states.
The shoes are similar to Tunisian wedding shoes,The metal looks like salvaged sheet metal of some type added by a non professional.

I don't think those are for a child. That style of wirework is found from Portugal to China, and I'd be thinking China on these.

 

Information about Tunisian wedding shoes along with photograph of another example. "Silver foil nailed to a wooden clog." I, for one, am comfortable with identification although I think child's shoes might be souvenir pair.

Oh, and here's an interesting link to a contemporary Tunisian jewelry designer who works in filigree, one of the country's traditional crafts.

True -
IN SUMMARY

• Sterling silver must be at least 92.5% silver.
• US law does NOT require precious metal to be marked with a quality stamp.
• Some European countries do require marking. Many tourists visiting the US will question goods sold without markings that indicate precious-metal quality.
• US law requires a maker's mark in the form of a hallmark or registered trademark in addition to the quality mark if the goods are quality marked. The name of the artist or manufacturer may now be used for this.

 

i doubt anyone could wear those shoes for any length of time..

 

Thank you all for your help. Greatly appreciated. Lots of different opinions and interesting comments.
