AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An original Lepper leather bicycle saddle, manufactured in the Netherlands and dating from approximately 1920–1940.
This authentic antique saddle remains in complete, original and unrestored condition, retaining its original leather top, steel frame, twin rear coil springs, front suspension system and original mounting hardware.
The saddle features the original Lepper branding on both the leather and the rear metal nameplate, confirming its authenticity.
The leather has developed a beautiful natural patina over many decades. Although it has a dry appearance, it remains supple and flexible and is not brittle or hardened. It retains its original shape and shows honest signs of age, including natural craquelure, surface wear and several age-related cracks consistent with long-term use.
The steel frame and springs display light surface oxidation and normal wear, entirely consistent with the saddle’s age. The saddle has never been restored, repaired or refinished, preserving its authentic historical character.
This is an attractive and increasingly collectible example of early 20th-century Dutch bicycle craftsmanship, suitable for collectors, vintage bicycle enthusiasts and high-quality restoration projects.
