The Grand Gold State Coach is rarely used in public, making its appearance during the Platinum Jubilee even more special.
—was a hulking, gilded object, spectacular in its grandeur. Crowds cheered and craned to take pictures of their iPhones as it slowly made its way down its wall, drawn by eight horses. The identity of the object was unmistakable: The Gold State Coach.
Commissioned in 1760 for George III, it’s around twenty-six feet long and weighs almost 8,000 pounds. At the front are two tritons, which, at the time, honored several British naval victories,On the top of the carriage are three cherubs that represent the guardian spirits of England, Scotland, and Ireland. Much of the carriage’s facade is covered in fruits of peace, which at the time, served as a nod to the love of arts and science, as well as painted panels by Giovanni Cipriani.
