HORSE DRAWN CARRIAGES MANUFACTURED BY SLAVEK-KUTSCHEN
Sponsored article:
Passion and the joy of creation are words with which we identify every day. The construction of horse drawn carriages, their tradition going back hundreds of years, requires in-depth knowledge and a great deal of patience from contemporary builders. The multitude of details and their variety makes this an art that is not available to everyone.
The highly qualified staff working in the SLAVEK KUTSCHEN manufactory meet with new challenges every day in order to fulfill the most sophisticated demands of our clients.Despite our extensive knowledge we continue to refer to old engravings, sketches, photos and descriptions in order to render the spirit of past as faithfully as possible.
The entire construction process of a carriage takes place in our company.
The beginning of construction consists in a thorough discussion of the individual stages of work, and the next step is choosing the highest quality wood.
Construction proper starts with building the frame (which goes to the smithy for a short while in order to obtain railing). Following that the box of the given carriage, its wheels and other small parts of the chassis such as the swingletrees, mudguards, shafts etc. are structured and assembled.
At the end of this stage the carriage returns to the smithy where typical blacksmith’s work is conducted: the carriage is equipped with metal fittings. This is when its suspension, wheels, axles and all other metal elements are assembled.
The next stage is the varnishing workshop, where the carriage is prepared for its final coat of varnish.
After the varnishing work is finished, which is very often done by hand, the last stage of construction starts – the upholstery. We use the best quality leather, velvet as well as silk for this purpose.
As you have probably noticed, all the works related to the construction of our carriages are conducted in our own manufactory. The quality of our products is supervised by numerous professionals: carpenters, wheelwrights, painters and ultimately upholsterers. The final result, a wide range of unique carriages, is an effect of the their skills and abilities.
We also conduct renovation work on carriages which have already passed their prime. We return them to their previous splendour and brilliance.
