A life-long dream
for many brides is to have "fairy tale" wedding and to be a
"princess" for the day. The centre pirce of such a wedding has to be
the arrival of the bride in a carriage which is perfect in every
way.
To make such a dream come true we have created our "Princess" service
in which every part of the presentation is the very peak of
perfection, the carriage, which is the principal feature of the
"Princess" service is our barouche landau, one of the finest
horse-drawn vehicles in the country and unquestionably the pride of
our collection.
Baroughes were
luxurious open carriages used throughout the 1800's and were popular
with the wealthy as a park or town vehicle. They were expensive to
maintain because fashion dictated that a barouche should have horses
of a superior quality to those used for other carriages. Our barouche
was built in 1830 for a lady who loved to be driven around the park
so everyone could see and admire her and of course her horses.
Two years ago we
found the barouche in a very dilapidated condition, badly attacked by
woodworm, the metal work all rusty and the upholstery in rags. After
many months of hard work the barouche has been restored to its
original condition and splendour. The rich dark green coach work, the
soft light coloured upholstery and the shining brasswork make a
perfect setting for your day as a "Princess". Other brides may have a
carriage for their wedding but no one will be able to match you.
