Antique Early 1900s French Cavalry Leather Saddle Bags

Antique early 1900s French cavalry saddle bags

These rugged saddle bags were issued to the French cavalry and may well have seen service during the First World War. They are a fine example of early 20th-century craftsmanship and are made from thick, durable saddle leather.

Originally worn on either side of a saddle, they can still be used for riding today. They would also make a striking addition to a classic motorcycle.

After more than a century, the bags remain in good condition and show signs of age and use. Over time, they have developed a rich patina that adds to their character. Despite their age, the leather remains strong and sturdy.
