Inspiration

Expensive and elegant, an 18th-century town coach bespoke money, position, and privilege. Owners were generally rich or aristocratic or both, and on either side of the Atlantic, the town coach became an icon of status.

The Dunmore carriage is a reproduction based on an advertisement by coachmaker Elkanah Deane in the Virginia Gazette of October 23, 1773: "I made, in the city of New York, for his Excellency the Right Honorable the Earl of Dunmore, a coach, phaeton, and a chaise, which may now be seen by any gentleman that has an inclination." The coach bears Dunmore's coat of arms.
