EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this stunning 1820s Caleche 1820S, a private carriage suitable for ladies to enjoy a leisurely drive through the picturesque Bois de Boulogne in Paris. The Caleche de Longchamp, named after the famous Parisian racecourse, is a grand example of historical French transportation. Measuring an impressive size, the Caleche 1820S is a horse-drawn calash carriage, featuring a large canopy to protect its occupants from the elements. However, in contrast to its overall size, the seating area is surprisingly small, designed for the comfort and elegance of the ladies of the time. The Caleche 1820S is a beautiful and intricately detailed carriage, with ornate metalwork and fine leather accents. The carriage's design is a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of the era, making it a desirable mode of transport for the wealthy and fashionable. The Bois de Boulogne, a popular recreational area for Parisians, provided the perfect setting for a day out in the Caleche 1820S. Ladies could enjoy a scenic drive through the park, taking in the beauty of the surrounding nature while being chauffeured in style and comfort. This photograph, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the elegance and sophistication of the 1820s and the unique transportation methods of the time. The small seating area of the Caleche 1820S, in contrast to its overall size, adds to its charm and allure, making it a truly enchanting and romantic mode of transport.
