Woven as a statement piece and status symbol, riding a horse with this opulent saddle carpet would have been the equivalent of driving a luxury car today.
With flared sides and corner notches designed to fit a horse, this Chinese saddle carpet would have been placed as a final decorative layer between the horse and saddle. This historic saddle carpet features two dramatic circular medallions over a background of all-over Indo Japonic palmettes. This traditional saddle carpet is designed to secure the saddle carpet and other padding to the horse through two tie slits.
