Two rearing dapple-grey horses in red harness with blue-and-white saddle cloths draw an open rococo carriage, its body molded with gilt scrollwork and set on gilt-rimmed spoked wheels. A bearded coachman in top hat and black waistcoat holds the linked chain reins; four passengers in 18th-century costume ride behind — including a lady holding a small white dog. All on an oval rocaille base with applied flowers and grasses, heightened in gold.

Mark: blue crown-type mark to the rear of the base (see photo 5).
