What is a "chaise"?
A chaise is a light, open, two-wheeled carriage designed for one or two passengers. It is typically drawn by a single horse and was popular for short trips due to its simplicity and ease of use. The carriage features a minimalistic design with a small, comfortable seating area, offering a straightforward and practical option for travel. The chaise was commonly used in the 18th and 19th centuries, providing a more casual alternative to heavier, more formal carriages.
