GALA CHARRO CHAIR WITH 3 HANDCRAFTED WORKS
This extraordinary Gran Gala Charro Chair with bullfighting motifs stands out as an outstanding example of masterful craftsmanship in charreria. Its design presents a duck tail skeleton and elegant embroidery with silver thread, accompanied by steel hardware with inlays of the same precious metal. The Silao style shaft, with the name of Victor Bernal, meticulously worked, is highlighted with allegorical bullfighting paintings that add a distinctive artistic touch. It also includes a girth and rosadera, elements that reinforce its functionality.
Although it is a luxurious piece, it stands out for a singular characteristic: a deeply marked "corbata", the result of constant use in the luck of the piales. This detail evidences the wear caused by the rubbing of the reata when "chorrearla", when the charro stops the mare using the head of the saddle as a pulley.
It is a work of art that combines elegance and tradition, possibly created for or used by Victor Bernal, whose name perpetuates his legacy in this unique piece.
