Historical context
Ceremonial vehicle acquired by the Portuguese Royal House, most likely from the family Lencastre e Meneses because visibly the Lencastre e Meneses Coat of Arms is painted over the Royal Portuguese Coat of Arms.
Description
The closed body, in a semi elliptical shape, has green silk curtains. Under the body there is a rectangular compartment lined in black leather to carry luggage. AND DID YOU KNOW... Its location, extending downward from the level of the shafts, provides greater stability to the vehicle. The external panels are decorated with a floral border, with the Royal Coat of Arms in the centre, on a dark green background. The interior is upholstered in velvet.
