Karosse

The carosse (state coach) is a four wheel enclosed carriage, much in use in the 17th century. The front and hind axles are connected by one single perch. There are wooden pillars attached to the axles, from which braces extend to the coach body (which is sometimes equipped with elbow-springs). After 1700 the carosse was more and more displaced by the lighter berlin, but it was still built and used by european courts as high-class ceremonial vehicle.

Kalesche

"Calèche", "Kalesche", "Calash" (from french & english.: "chalice") describes various types of vehicles, usually with a body in the shape of a chalice. In 1771 Roubo calls a light open four-wheel carriage with umbrella-top "calèche". In the 19th century the term is often used for  vehicles similar to the barouche or to the victoria. Their four-seater body has usually a folding top on the back.
