Moroccan-Andalusian Hand-Painted Saddle – Black and Gold

Signature Offerings Overview

The Moroccan-Andalusian Hand-Painted Saddle in Black and Gold is a Riad Street creation by Salma Tahri, La Cavalière Élégante. Black leather is painted by hand with gilded arabesques, ruby and emerald rosettes and geometric borders drawn from Moroccan-Andalusian decorative art. It turns a working saddle into a piece of heritage.

Problem It Solves

Most saddles are built purely as equipment, with little room for culture or personal expression. Riders who love Moroccan heritage and Arabian horses rarely find tack that reflects that identity. This saddle combines functional equestrian design with hand-painted Moroccan artistry, so it can be ridden in and displayed as a collectible.

Benefits & Real Examples

• Hand-Painted by Artisans: Gold arabesques and ruby and emerald rosettes are painted by hand onto the leather flaps and seat

• Usable and Collectible: Designed to be ridden as well as displayed
• Colourway: Black leather with gold arabesques and ruby and emerald rosettes
• Complete the Look: The Engraved Gold Stirrups by La Cavalière Élégante are available as a separate listing
