Driving Horse-Drawn Carriages for Pleasure: The Classic Illustrated Guide to Coaching, Harnessing, Stabling, Etc.Writing at the turn of the century, Francis T.

Writing at the turn of the century, Francis T. Underhill provided horse and carriage owners with a comprehensive guidebook that described how a well turned-out carriage should look and be handled. An expert in coaching and equipage, Underhill wrote with enthusiasm and a thorough knowledge of the subject, offering his readers a wealth of information about horses, harnesses, coaches, stables, and liveries, as well as useful "suggestions to the inexperienced."
Republished now in its entirety, this delightfully entertaining volume depicts in more than 100 black-and-white captioned photographs of scores of vehicles: a "turned out" road coach, hooded gig, an elegant George IV pha ton, a Paris lady's chaise, hansome cab, landau, coup d' Orsay, omnibus, depot wagon, buckboard, a smart "lady's country trap," and many more. In addition to elegant carriages, practical buggies, and cozy carts, this remarkable archive provides a fascinating visual commentary on nineteenth-century culture and life, recalled in vintage photographs of coachmen and grooms, stable and coachroom interiors as well as "night and dress clothing" for the properly accoutered horse.
Reprinted from a rare original edition published at the height of the age of horse-drawn transportation, this authentic sourcebook will be welcomed by model builders, transportation buffs, artists in need of authentic period illustrations, and anyone interested in the bygone era of leisurely pre-automobile travel.

Terrific Buy!
Color: Brown, Size: 13"D x 23.7"W x 32.7"H
I couldn't be happier with our new very handy piece of furniture. The tea/bar cart (I chose classic brown with the black iron) looks like a much more expensive purchase than it is. It's well-designed, well-made, and very easy to assemble, even for me: all of the holes, screws, bolts, etc., align perfectly for a level, sturdy, squared, and pleasing cart that can serve a multitude of purposes, depending on your household's needs. I just bought a second. They really are just that versatile and good-looking, and they require little space.

No complaints
Color: Brown, Size: 13"D x 23.7"W x 32.7"H
This is a great bar cart. The shelves hold up with a bunch of bottles on it. To be fair, we do not wheel it around. It just stays in one spot.

Perfect for limited space
Color: Brown, Size: 13"D x 23.7"W x 32.7"H, Color: Brown, Size: 13"D x 23.7"W x 32.7"H
This bar cart works well for small spaces or areas. I got this cart since I live in a 700 sq ft apartment and I needed something that would store all my liquor and equipment, as I barely have any counter space. As seen in the photo, it looks great, too. Was relatively easy to assemble as well. The only complaint I have is the wheels. I seriously considered taking them off as they can be annoying at times and get stuck easily. If it wasn’t for the wheels, I would’ve given the cart 5 stars. Still works great given how inexpensive it is.
