Vintage Tooled Leather Western Parade Saddle & Custom Texas Motif Display Stand

This is a rare opportunity to own a stunning, mid-century Western Parade Saddle set, professionally presented on a custom-built display pedestal. This ensemble captures the spirit of the Golden Age of Western showmanship, perfect for high-end home décor, office showrooms, or serious equestrian collections. The Saddle: Vintage Tooled Leather Masterpiece This classic "Square Skirt" Parade Saddle is a testament to traditional craftsmanship. • Intricate Tooling: Features deep, crisp Sheridan-style floral carvings (sunflowers/wild roses) across the entire surface. • Condition: The leather is in excellent vintage condition, retaining a rich, warm chestnut patina. All stitching is tight, including the decorative "X" patterns along the spine. • Unique Accents: The horn features a contrasting light-toned cap, and the set includes matching stirrups and high-quality vintage leatherwork throughout. • Documentation: Includes a reference photo from a vintage catalog identifying this specific model (see images), adding significant provenance and historical value. The Stand: Custom "Texas Star" Display Pedestal Unlike standard racks, this is a piece of custom Western furniture designed specifically for this saddle. • Artisan Metalwork: The stationary base features heavy cast-iron decorative wheels. One side depicts Crossed Revolvers with a Texas Star, and the other features a Longhorn Head with a Texas Star. • Solid Construction: Built with a slatted wood top to mimic a horse’s back, ensuring the saddle maintains its shape while on display. • Stationary Design: While it features a "wheel" aesthetic, the base is fixed and heavy-duty, providing a secure, no-tip foundation for this 40lb+ saddle. Included Accessories • Heavy-duty vintage lariat rope. • Coordinating Western bit and bridle setup. • Secondary "X-Frame" wooden saddle rack for cleaning or transport.
