Berlin (carriage)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Berlin (or Berline) carriage was a type of light, fast four-wheeled travelling carriage with a separate hooded seat at the rear. It had a distinctive two-perch running gear and thoroughbrace suspension.
The carriage was designed around 1670 for the Elector of Brandenburg. It took its name from Brandenburg's capital city (and now the capital of Germany), Berlin. It became popular in England in the 18th century after it was imported by a German officer.
