Char-a-Banc for the Queen of Portugal, 1850. 'Two beautiful Chars-à-Banc...have just been completed at the establishment of Messrs. Thrupp and Co., in Oxford-street, for her Majesty the Queen of Portugal, and are intended for her Majesty's use during the summer sojourn of the Court at the Royal residences of Cintra and Mafra. The carriages are exceedingly elegant, and are finished in the highest style...The seats have caned sides, and are lined with pearl-coloured Spitalfields silk, trimmed with handsome lace, of the grape-vine pattern, designed expressly for these carriages. The lamps are elegant in shape, and richly ornamented with chased brass and Bohemian glass'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
