When referring to implements or tools of the trade, "materiale" can be translated as "equipment", as in "materiale per scrivere" - writing equipment. I guess the equipment in this context is the riding tack.

My comment:

Not sure what the context is, but as the concepts of order, cleanliness and shine are so abstract I'd probably turn this around, something on the lines of 'this unique piece of equipment was framed in gleaming surroundings where all was order and cleanliness.'

Possible over-translated, but without the context....:-/

OK. Then 'it [whatever it is!] was framed by the gleaming tack room where all was order and cleanliness'. Or 'the gleaming well-ordered tack room'. I feel it's still not completely right, but hopefully this will be of some help...
