Why I Love This Pattern: This beautiful motif highlights opulent parade harnesses and saddles, crafted for grand ceremonies and prestigious events. Embossed leather, delicate braiding, and gilded bronze details, which featuring wreaths, royal insignias, and coats of arms, reflect the status of both the rider and the occasion. The central motif, fastened with pyramid studs and elaborate weaving, takes inspiration from a harness designed for the coronation of Louis XVIII, capturing the grandeur of equestrian tradition. How fitting that it is adorned with beads? In some of the last photos, you'll see the intricacy of the beading on the back, with each one sewn and knotted separately.
