Imagine owning a piece of world history that will be prized by any collector of rare artistry. This exquisite seven-foot-long calèche dates back to the 18th-century Spanish royal family—specifically King Charles III—a pivotal figure in modernizing and positioning Spain as a dominant European power. His father, King Philip V, was the grandson of King Louis XIV of France and the first Bourbon monarch to rule Spain, establishing an enduring legacy that lives on today through his descendant, reigning King of Spain Felipe VI. Designed in proportion and intended for a princely child, the carved wood and iron carriage is a masterpiece, adorned on all sides with pastoral scenes that showcase the painters' skill in immortalizing their world through polychrome paint. Each gilded panel is crowned by a Greek-style frieze and bordered by chiseled Baroque moldings, reflecting the rich blend of artistic influences present in Spain at the time. With only a few comparable royal carriages still in existence today in the Palace of Versailles, this is a remarkable opportunity to possess an exceptional aristocratic artifact from a bygone era.
