Regency Trivia – The Barouche Carriage

Barouche carriages were known for their elegance and expense. These four-wheeled vehicles had a cabriolet top light construction. They were only suitable for good weather in the spring, summer, and early autumn. The carriage was built to be driven by a coachman. As you can see from the images, the sides were low enabling the inhabitants to see and be seen.

 

 

 

 

The barouche was generally used in Town. If driven in the country the roads would have to be very good.
