01
Artifact Overview
The two-wheel chaise provided a less costly alternative for customers who could not afford a larger four-wheel carriage. At the height of its popularity in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, the chaise was available for one or two passengers, and with or without a top. Massachusetts physician George Coburn Clement purchased this chaise built by Elmer P. Sargent.
