A CHAISE is a type of carriage with a folding hood. It was popular in the 18th century and was used for leisurely rides in the countryside. The CHAISE was designed to be lightweight and comfortable, and it was often pulled by one or two horses. The CHAISE was also known as a 'CHAISE longue' or 'long chair' due to its long seat. It was a popular mode of transportation for the wealthy and was often decorated with elaborate carvings and fabrics.
