Description
22" (56 cm.) l. 13"h. Of carved wood with large spoked wheels centering the standing perch for the royal guardsmen, and two small spoked wheels in the front centered by the driver's seat. The coach has elaborate shaping of doors and windows, each with beveled glass, with door on one side only, and with sculpted design of crown on the door and at the center of the roof. The door opens to a red silk and velvet lined interior with tufting on the seats. The degree of sculpting and rich design indicates luxury production, likely as a presentation box for a luxurious gift, designed to be later used as decoration, for example as accessory for doll exhibit. Excellent condition, French, 1885.
