Antique camel saddle, Rajasthan, India. Early 20th century. Brass and iron over hardwood.
These classic antique camel saddles are becoming a thing of the past, as camels have now largely been replaced by trucks, except in some of the most remote desert regions of India. As a result, their value is increasing - there is currently one for sale on IstDibs for over $5,400 and another on Etsy for over $4.600.
We have seen these saddles used to hold planter pots, used as towel rails and hung from the ceiling as light fixtures. They also look lovely simply leaned up against an inside or outside wall as tribal or country style decoration.
As this is an oversize item, it is only available for pick up, for courier delivery within Australia, or shipping to overseas. Please contact us for a shipping estimate or contact your preferred shipper for a direct quote.
