One-horse or two-horse in-line sleigh. - Lot 468
One-horse or two-horse in-line sleigh. Iron and wrought iron, relacquered in purple and brass. This sleigh was made in 1906, in Saint-Petersburg, especially for Monsieur Adrien de MONTGOLFIER. Later velvet trim. H_145 cm W_230 cm D_112 cm. Provenance: Adrien de Montgolfier. Then Jeanne, Comtesse de Saint Génys. Then Claude, Marquise de Lastic at Château de Parentignat. Adrien de Montgolfier (Pierre-Louis-Adrien de Montgolfier-Verpilleux,dit) (1831-1913) had been going to Russia every year since 1904 to manage the Krivoï Rog mines and steelworks. He was a French civil engineer, businessman and politician, first as a member of parliament and then as a senator. He was director of the forges and steelworks of the French Navy and administrator of Krivoï-Rog. It was in this capacity that he ordered the sled for ease of travel, and brought it back to France by rail in 1911.
