WINGED HUSSAR SADDLES

SADDLE no.1 (17th c.) Price to be agreed

Based on saddle belonging to the Zygmunt III Waza. The saddle tree covered with canvas and birch bark uderside and covered witch red velvet, embroidery and brass fittings.

These are the first thoroughly reconstructed winged hussar saddles. The reconstruction is based on artefacts and icons, taking into account the internal structure, i.e. the saddle tree and the pillows. Thanks to the 3D modelling and CNC technology, the shape of the saddle tree and the seat profile of the surviving originals can be accurately reproduced. A great contribution to expand knowledge about this equipment was made by Radosław Sikora PHD by providing a lot of graphics and icons. He is an author of history books about Polish winged hussars. Acquired pictures and iconography help us to understand how the base of the hussar saddle (i.e. saddle tree) was constructed, how the pillows were fixed, what materials were used. They truly show the metal decorations and embroidery, the types of the girths fastening, fixing of the harness, the mounting point of the stirrups, glued canvas, and birch bark.
