Meet Edward H. Bohlin
“Master Craftsman
for The Cowboy Kings” |
| |
The most sought after creation in the
Cowboy tack world for so many Western collectors is a Bohlin made silver
parade saddle due to its rich embellishments and style. In the long
history of horsemen and saddle makers
Edward H. Bohlin (1895-1980) was
without question one of the most influential and inventive craftsmen of
the twentieth century. From his early years as an immigrant cowboy in
Montana, a chance encounter with a famous Hollywood Western star enabled
Bohlin to develop a world-renowned career as a designer and maker of
luxury Western-style silver-mounted saddles, horse tack and
related
goods.
His astonishing silver-encrusted parade saddles, produced for riders in
the annual Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, California, for
millions to see, constituted an entirely fabulous expression in American
decorative arts that continues to dazzle crowds to this day. There is
nothing like a gorgeous three dimensional Bohlin made silver parade
outfit to knock your boots off when seen in the right setting and
lighting. Whether seen on the parade route or in the home, these
magnificent works of art are still the material of dreams. The Bohlin
silver saddles are the earthy stuff of exciting fantasies. There is no
way to not notice them. They have both brilliance, sparkle and
presence. The silver shines in the sunlight as you see the classy horses
passing by during the greatest of parades. |
