May 29, 2007, Deerfield Beach, FL – Platinum Television Group is pleased to announce the selection of Marc Oliver Saddleryfor its innovative, educational television series, Great Taste.
Marc Oliver Saddlery provides horseback riders and collectors the opportunity to experience the finest custom-made saddle, described by the company as a piece of “Working Sculpture.” Oliver, a leather artisan with a background in fine art and design custom designs saddles, and they embody the passion of a skilled craftsman. Oliver is self-taught and his workshop is at his ranch in Fort Collins, CO. His customized items are highly sought after because of their uniqueness. Oliver’s saddles are uniquely one-of-a-kind with hand-cut designs. They are made in a way similar to the method used in the late 1800s. Though saddle making is his love, Oliver also offers customers a wide variety of other hand-made riding accessories, such as chaps, bridles, saddlebags, and holsters. Distinctive to his company, these finely crafted pieces can be designed to match the custom saddle. Many of Oliver’s leather pieces are enhanced with sterling silver, bronze, or gold embellishments.
This traditional and skillful art form has not gone unappreciated by the public: Celebrity George Foreman is only one of the proud owners of a Marc Oliver Saddle. Debrett’s Limited, a website boasting a “specialist directory of premium goods and service providers,” lists his saddles as a means of embracing one’s “inner cowboy” with style and comfort.
Currently enjoying his 13th year as a saddlemaker, Oliver provides recreational riders, professionals, and collectors alike with beautiful, unique, and functional saddles of the finest quality leather and artistry. Saddles range in price from $3,500 to more than $25,000.
Great Taste will feature the hand-crafted saddles and products, including Oliver’s explanation of how he creates them, on a segment on “Custom Saddlery.” For more about his custom saddles visit: www.marcoliversaddlery.com/
