About the Item

Hand-Coloured Lithograph of Ornate Medieval Horse Saddles and Stirrups This detailed and beautifully hand-coloured lithograph depicts ornately decorated saddles, stirrups, and equestrian gear used during the medieval and early Renaissance periods. Taken from *Der Rittersaal: Eine Geschichte des Ritterthums* (1842) by Friedrich Martin von Reibisch and Dr. Franz Kottenkamp, this plate showcases the opulence and craftsmanship associated with knightly tournaments and ceremonial displays. The central saddle features a richly adorned design with gold embroidery and blue accents, combining intricate floral motifs with heraldic elements. A golden stirrup hangs below, emphasizing its luxurious craftsmanship intended for high-ranking nobility. To the sides, two ornate saddle covers are decorated with golden medallions and elaborate scrollwork, suggesting they were used for tournaments, parades, or royal ceremonies where visual display held great importance. Above the saddles, stirrups and spurs illustrate the attention to detail in medieval equestrian equipment. Gold highlights and engraved embellishments reflect the ceremonial nature of these objects, which blended functionality with artistry. The lithograph captures the grandeur of knightly culture, emphasizing the fusion of artistry and practical design in medieval equestrian gear. The vibrant hand-colouring brings out the intricate gold and blue patterns, offering a striking glimpse into historical craftsmanship and heraldic traditions. Condition: This plate is in excellent condition, with clean margins, vibrant colours, and minimal signs of age-related wear. An exceptional addition to collections focused on equestrian history, medieval tournaments, or heraldic art, this lithograph is ideal for framing and display. Perfect for enthusiasts of historical equestrian gear or European chivalric traditions.
