For hundreds of years, horses and carriages were seen as key elements of courtly representation. At coronations, weddings, and formal processions rulers and the nobility rode in magnificent and elaborately dressed carriages drawn by noble horses. These carriages, designed and created by important artists, were not only a means of transportation but insignia displaying the owner’s rank and status in society effectively.
