18th century coach with belt suspension, richly decorated with golden carvings and oil paintings with mythological themes in the panels. Inside is upholstered with red velvet and silver embroidery. It was designed by Hipolito Rovira (1695-1765) and carved by Ignacio Vergara (1715-1776) and Luis Domingo for the Marquis of Dos Aguas. The design by Ignacio Vergara, is based in a rococo decoration very much of the liking at the time: pebbles, fallen leaves, flowers, fruits, putti, etc. In the lower part of the box there are four carved nymphs that gave the popular name to the chariot.
