making up a very complete set, consisting of a saddle with stirrups, bridle and trappings, the saddle seat faced in yellow silk kesi from a dragon robe, and with cloisonne mounts against a shagreen field, on a birch wood base structure. Note: Birch was considered a hardwood in Northern China, due to the dry winter and wet summer. The structure is composed of four pieces, following Manchu and Mongolian classic tradition. The surface of the front and back parts are covered with Shark- skin and decorated with gilt brass mounts, finely enamelled in cloisonne with floral motifs. The present seat cover epitomises much of the stylistic achievements in embroidery production during the early Qing period, from the smooth yellow ground to the strongly delineated deep brown mountains, and border of ocean waves. As a symbol of the emperor himself, the pattern is a most fitting subject for a saddle destined to grace one of the halls of an imperial palace. The Brass stirrups have treads pierced with a swastika which is considered to symbolise the auspicious footprints of the Buddha. The left-facing swastika is often imprinted on the chest, feet or palms of Buddha images. It is a symbol for the Buddha in many parts of Asia and homologous with the dharma wheel.The shape symbolises the eternal and cyclical, a theme found in the samsara doctrine of Buddhism. The exterior surface enamelled on a Black-ground with floral and geometrical motifs. With a rare horse tail holder, in fabric, with silver 27 mounts, enamelled in polychrome with floral motifs. Together with bridle reins gold-gilt in fabric, with 29 cloisonne mounts, enamelled with bats, birds, longevity symbols and flowers. The bridle rings connect to the iron bit.The bat is a punning rebus for fu meaning fortune or fortunate. Those patterns are very often appear on porclain, furnature, lacquer ware, and cloisonne. . Dimension:Saddle length 45 cm . Condition:. Provenance:Given by Xu Jingcheng to Italian Diplomat, Daniele Vare, in 1891; Collection of Musee du Cheval et de la peronnerie d Art Rene Francois in Beaucaire; Acquired from Roberto Nicola in Milano, 2010.

An embroidered shawl (phulkari), pachranga Shalimar bagh, Punjab, first half 20th century, silk floss on light maroon cotton ground, the large concentric lozenges in silk floss in tones of saffron, red, green and cream against tangerine ground, one pallu hatched in similar colours, the other with bold chevrons forming palmettes in similar colours within large square panels240 x 131.5cm.Provenance: Private UK Collection acquired in the 1950s by the vendor's father, an academic. The works were brought to the UK when the family relocated here in 1966. Footnote : Phulkaris were ceremoniously exchanged between various members of the family during marriage festivities. These included the passing down of phulkaris from mother to daughter, or grandmother to granddaughter, or in the form of the highly particularised vari da bagh, a type of embroidery that was gifted by the groom's family as part of marriage arrangement. Soft, untwisted silk floss thread called as “pat” came from various places like Kashmir, Bengal and even from Afghanistan, and Turkistan, but were dyed locally in Amritsar and Jammu, and women could obtain this from nomadic merchants. Partition in 1947 changed the availability of these silk flosses.Further reading: Aryan, S. & B.N.
