A travelling chariot was a kind of privately owned post-chaise, mainly used by the nobility or high-ranking officers. The travelling chariot was often used for the Grand Tour on the continent. The doors were often decorated with the family crest. A notable feature was the sword case at the rear of the vehicle. It often had a rumble seat for grooms or family servants. The carriage was very popular between 1795 and 1825.
