Spanning a commanding 39 inches in length, this impressive architectural conversation piece is masterfully built using hand-carved wood, a heavy custom-forged wrought iron chassis and rotating multi-spoked wheels. The carriage body is finished in a deep, rich coach black. Each cabin door features a hand-painted gold leaf European sovereign crown crest set over a crossed sword and scepter, serving as a handsome artistic homage to historical German royalty.

A spectacular, highly collectible trait of this specific piece is the inclusion of its original miniature traveling luggage trunk mounted to the rear platform rack—an accessory that is almost universally lost or missing from surviving scale models of this era.

An extraordinary, high-impact statement piece perfectly scaled to serve as a focal point anchor for an executive desk layout, a gentleman's library mantelpiece, an eclectic post-war curio collection or any dark and moody library.
