As well as many antiques and paintings the sale will include a Victorian saddlecloth (estimate PS400-PS500) and a signed photo of former American president Theodore Roosevelt, dated 1909 (estimate PS500-PS800).
Apart from the rendering of the clouds and the landscape in a Tibetan style, the saddlecloth draped on the horse is also reminiscent of designs of regional pile-rugs.
A saddlecloth, 8th and 9th century chess and backgammon boards, a 17th century dagger and sheath from Iran, a prayer carpet, a mosque lamp, portraits of ambassadors are part of the collection.
The pack can be designed exactly how you like it with fabric options of fleece, cotton, twill, Saddlecloth and other super cloths, and is also available in Realtree, Advantage and Mossy Oak camo patterns.
