Gloriana Bespoke Saddle — Atelier Edition

OLVENIQ Saddlery — handcrafted in the European Union
The Gloriana Atelier commission is the top of our craft: a saddle built from a plaster-accurate template of one horse, for one rider, by one saddler, from first measurement to final polish.
We work exclusively with full-grain European calfskin and English bridle butts, tanned slowly with oak and mimosa bark. Each hide is rested, stuffed with tallow and waxes, then burnished by hand — a rhythm of work unchanged for a century, and the reason OLVENIQ leather ages into character rather than wear.
Design & Craftsmanship
- Delivered personally by the saddler who built it, with a signed build record
- Wool-flocked panels shaped on the bench, allowing millimetre-precise fitting and future adjustment
- Hand-stitched in our European atelier — eight stitches to the inch in waxed linen thread
- Edges skived, folded and edge-painted by hand — no raw cuts anywhere on the saddle
- Entirely bespoke: tree, panels, flap length and blocks built to your horse's plaster-accurate template
- Signature old-gold nameplate, individually numbered
- Each hide vegetable-tanned for six weeks by a single family tannery

Care
Clean with a glycerine saddle soap as needed and condition sparingly — quality leather prefers little and often. Avoid oils in excess, which soften structure. We offer a full refurbishment service: stitching, flocking and finish can be renewed at our atelier at any point in the piece's life.
Questions, Answered
Is a trial period offered?
We arrange a professional fitting appointment with test rides. Together with our exchange policy on standard specifications, you can be entirely certain before the saddle stays.
What warranty applies?
The tree carries a 10-year warranty, leather and workmanship 5 years, subject to normal care — the longest cover we know of in the industry.
