This pony chaise is a four wheeled, two seat carriage built in the late 19th century by Southgate Coachbuilders from Fakenham, Norfolk. The carriage is notable for having a small, compact, low-to-the-ground frame which is placed on elliptical springs located on the back and front wheels. The seating of this carriage has dark blue cushioning, and the footrest area is partially covered with a patterned carpet. This carriage does not have any brakes. The wheels have brass hub caps which are engraved “Southgate, Fakenham”. Pony chaise, late 19th century 1875-1900
