D. Carlota Joaquina carriage

This carriage is part of a group of three vehicles brought to Portugal in 1785 by Queen Carlota Joaquina of Bourbon, daughter of Charles IV of Spain at the time of her marriage to Prince João, later King João VI.

Although it was built during the baroque period, it retains the body of the Spanish coaches of the 17th century. The body is closed with glass windows. The exterior is decorated in black leather with tack work. The doors and panels display the double Coats of arms of Portugal and Spain. The interior is upholstered in red silk velvet.
