Model: Royal Ceremonial Carriage Drawn By Four Horses

Important sculpted ensemble: Royal carriage drawn by a team of four horses

Masterful work in carved wood and composite materials, 20th century, in the style of 18th-century ceremonial carriage models.

This remarkable model depicts a royal ceremonial carriage drawn by four richly harnessed horses and accompanied by two coachmen in period costume.
The ensemble rests on a wooden base and is a testament to meticulous and decorative craftsmanship.

The carriage, with its domed shape, is crafted from precious wood veneer and embellished with gilded trim, moldings, and Rocaille-style ornaments.
The mica panels reveal a carefully appointed interior, lined with fabric and a red carpet, accentuating the piece’s luxurious character.

The horses, entirely hand-carved, convey a beautiful sense of movement and are fitted with a full harness reproduced with great attention to detail. The figures of the coachmen and footmen, carved from wood, lend a theatrical and lively dimension to the ensemble.

This work evokes the grand 18th-century court carriages, such as those used during royal ceremonies in France or England, and serves as an exceptional decorative piece for a cabinet of curiosities, a miniature collection, or a classic interior.

In very good overall condition.
Some minor signs of wear and slight discoloration of the fabric, consistent with the object’s age and decorative purpose.
