Summary
One of six (three pairs) saddle pads, blue woollen cloth edged with broad lace (c50 mm wide), red corded silk ground with blue worsted vine pattern and blue border. These saddle pads are definitely for use with the State Coach as the lace matches the design of that on the footman holders and hammer cloth (Colin Henderson 11.1.2011). *Has 'Front' written in ink on underside
Provenance
Purchased by the National Trust from John George Herbert, 8th Earl of Powis and the Powis Estate Trustees in June 2010.
