EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print captures a piece of history in the form of a state saddle and two saddle bags used by James II in 1686. The intricate embroidery on silk velvet showcases the craftsmanship and attention to detail that was put into creating these luxurious equestrian accessories. These items were not just functional, but also served as symbols of status and power for the monarch. When James II visited Bristol in 1686, he used this saddle and bags, which were later given to the mayor of Bristol, Sir Thomas Crump. Passed down through generations, they are now part of the collection at Parham House in West Sussex, UK. The rich colors and elaborate designs on these pieces reflect the opulence of the seventeenth century courtly fashion. The delicate stitching and ornate patterns demonstrate the skill of professional embroiderers who worked on such prestigious commissions. As we gaze upon this photo print, we are transported back in time to an era when even everyday objects like saddles were works of art. It is a reminder of the grandeur and elegance that characterized European decorative arts during this period.
