Description: | It has 8 rows or 'bars' of stitching below the point, denoting high quality: the more bars the more the stuffing of the panel was kept in place. The bars are also straight, meaning that they run in the same direction as the stirrup leathers, so minimising wear.. The saddle is a 'full shafto' which means that the seat, skirts and the flaps are lined, in this case being covered with suede. The flap is of pig lined with suede. The saddle has a long, straight 'twist' and is hand stitched. It may have been Walsall-made as Butler Brothers, for example, produced saddles for Parker & Sons.
A first quality saddle of golden brown leather. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Walsall Museums | Rights holder: | Walsall Museums | Subjects: | Walsall Leather Museum Collection | Temporal: | c.1930 | Source: | Black Country History | Creator: | Parker, George and Sons | Identifier: | http://www.blackcountryhistory.org/colle... | Go to resource |
