around 1815
Due to its lavish fittings with a gilt crane-neck undercarriage, C-springs, folding hood, footman rear step and exquisite decor, this phaeton was one of the court's state carriages. However, it was used as a leisure time carriage which the Emperor himself drove from his seat. A coachman and footman road along on the rear step. If necessary the coachman could drive the carriage from the hardly noticeable emergency seat at the front of the carriage body. (MKR)
