Description
Giuseppe Zanotti Venere Black Suede Gold Serpent Ankle-Wrap Sandal EU 39. Provenance: Giuseppe Zanotti Venere sandal in black suede, with a sculptural articulated gold-tone serpent ankle-wrap and a back-zip closure on an ultra-high stiletto heel. Mainline Giuseppe Zanotti, made in Italy. Condition: Very Good. Worn, structurally sound. The black suede shows general surface marks and dust pickup consistent with age and storage, responsive to a suede brush; suede pilling on the heel column and a surface texture change at the heel back, surface only. The gold-tone metal serpent hardware shows light surface scratches across all four metal pieces, most visible on the wider ankle bands, with mild tarnish in small isolated areas, a patina consistent with original 2012 production. The hinge mechanism is intact and functional and the articulated pieces articulate correctly. The insole shows light compression and darkening at the heel and ball area on one shoe. The black leather soles show wear across the ball and forefoot zone consistent with use; the heel-tip caps are intact and a cobbler refresh is recommended. All straps are intact, all stitching is sound, the hardware hinges are functional, and the back zippers are functional, with no broken construction. No box, no dust bag.
