The Westminster pair need work on the toecap as the antiquing is a FAIL and the toecap medallion piece is slightly askew on my monitor.
the antiquing does look better in person, the light of the room and camera are not helping here.
as to medallion, if all the these things are handcrafted, isnt there and expectation for things to be slightly off, and isnt that part of the character of the shoe?

Love that Deco calf's faded/purplish accent on the toe, but should probably stick to neutral colored polish
Deco Black is actually much more subtle than what the pictures makes it out to be. The fading is very discreet.
