"Saddlery: The Art of Crafting and Adorning Equestrian Equipment" Step into the world of saddlery, where skilled craftsmen and upholsterers create exquisite pieces for horses and riders alike. From Helmsley to Glasgow, from Plymouth to Argentina, this age-old trade has left its mark across continents. Tools used by a saddler and upholsterer are not just mere instruments; they are extensions of their artistry. With precision and expertise, these artisans shape leather with tools like awls, punches, stitching irons, and edge bevellers. Every stitch is meticulously placed using needles threaded with waxed linen or nylon thread. In the officers' funerals dating back to 1770-1959 captured in prints from Helmsley Saddlery, one can witness the solemnity that accompanies these finely crafted saddles. Each detail carefully considered as a tribute to those who served. Leckie Graham & Co's advert in Scotland showcases how saddlers have been an integral part of society for centuries. Their creations not only provide comfort but also reflect style and elegance. The village scene at Crownhill in Plymouth transports us back in time when horse-drawn carriages were a common sight on cobbled streets. The saddle room (Monturero) at Estancia La Violeta Polo Club captures the essence of Argentinean equestrian culture against a breathtaking sunset backdrop. Traveling westward to Fresno on U. S. 99 in California during 1939 through Dorothea Lange's lens reveals storefronts adorned with saddlery items - a testament to their popularity even during challenging times. Even Japan embraced this craft during the 1880s as evidenced by an image showcasing a groom tending to his horse bedecked with ornate Japanese-style saddlery. Saddlery transcends geographical boundaries; it finds its place even within religious art such as "Adoration of the Magi.
