Lublin carriage

Lublin carriage produced in Lublin in the factory of Stefan Gąsiorowski in the 1930s. It comes from a collection of nearly 100 horse-drawn vehicles gathered by the museum in Łańcut and constantly enriched. It includes vehicles of different kind, from presentable to rustic, from 18th to 20th century. They come primarily from museum purchases; only a few were donated. Most of them have undergone general conservation or restoration, already when belonging to the museum’s collection. The Lublin carriage has undergone conservative renovation in the museum in Łańcut. It was purchased for the collection of the Castle Museum in Łańcut in 1988. The Lublin carriage for a two-horse team has a solid, box body, with a skeleton construction filled with wooden planks, with two two-person seats in the form of upholstered benches with high mattresses. Front seat with side backrests made of bent bars, rear seat with side backrests made of bars and carriage backrest. On the sides of the box there are bent mudguards interrupted by an iron step on an extension. Wood parts in natural ash wood colour, body frame in walnut; metal parts lacquered in black.
