About the Item

Antique Mongolian Horse Saddle Set, Late 19th Century One rarely sees complete saddle sets from East Asia, or does one see a saddle rug from Mongolia very often either. Obviously rare, the set features the classic palette associated with rugs from Mongolia. The ground color, a natural brown wool (with a planned color change too) is a characteristic of the group. The other dyes, including the lighter-rose red and the light khaki green, seem to be characteristic of the group. The classic design, featuring a deer looking back over the shoulder, flanked by a crane in flight is a classic theme encountered in all textiles from the region. The border is sparsely ornamented with flowers in alternating blue and light rose-red hues. The red cloth binding on the edges is typical of the manner in which Tibetans complete their rugs, suggesting it may have been made for the Tibetan market.
