Rare Serdj Saddle, Complete, Decorated With Metallic Threads, Flowers, & Stars, Morocco, 19thc

A superb "Serdj" ceremonial saddle, complete with its harness pieces. It features a high pommel at the front and a trusquin at the rear. It is equipped with stylized iron collar rings, a bit, and stirrups. The core is made of leather, white and dyed reddish-brown. The interior is adorned with two successive rows of pink and purple felt. The exterior is richly decorated with a design of stars, rosettes, and flowers intertwined in gilt-thread embroidery. 
In generally good condition; please note a few moisture stains on the white leather, clearly visible in my detailed photos—please examine them carefully; I’m not hiding anything!
Moroccan craftsmanship, dating from the second half of the 19th century. 
Dimensions: 80 cm x 47 cm x 54 cm (H).

SHIPPING CONDITIONS BELOW

Shipped via carrier. I work with two carriers—both very reliable and very affordable. However, I can handle the delivery myself if the destination is within the northern limits of Clermont-Ferrand. I can therefore deliver personally throughout the south of France and work with you to find the best arrangement when you purchase the saddle.
European shipping and payment only—please send me a message. 
I no longer ship outside Europe, and I do not accept payments from outside Europe either!!
Contact: Charles Cordier: 06.46.13.37.64 (text messages only) or via Proantic, thank you. Accepted payments: French check or bank transfer.
No PayPal.
Thank you.
