Happy retirement Anita and Donna! Safe travels on your new adventure. Thanks for the memories.

09/04/2021

I write this with mixed emotions. But for those that haven't heard I am putting my farm up for sale next week. My body told me this winter that it needs to retire or at least scale back on the daily 12 hr days. But Donna & I want to thank everyone who have entrusted their equines in our care while training them for driving over the years. Each & everyone taught us something different & I hope they lived up to your expectations. We made such good friends in the driving community here. Our next adventure is taking us to Colorado, Grand Junction area. We will plan to stay in touch & I'm counting on all of you to do the same. Sincerely, Anita Alden

George IV or Park Phaeton
Hooper & Co.
London, England
Circa 1890

Type:
This style of phaeton is patterned after a pony phaeton made for King George IV by the London builder William Cook in 1824. As Prince Regent during the reign of his father, King George III, he became fond of driving, using a high-perch phaeton that was fashionable among young bloods during the closing years of the 18th century. In later years, as he grew portly and less active, he needed a carriage that was easier of access than the high-perch phaeton. A print showing the King driving his pony phaeton was published, and the type became an accepted pattern. Similar phaetons with a high, sweeping dash became popular for driving in the park by ladies. They were then known as “park phaetons,” but “George IV phaeton” was the more usual term in the U.S. This example by the long-established and highly-regarded firm of Hooper & Co. has grained hide and Bedford cord trim, and was almost certainly made for an elderly gentleman.

Provenance:
The carriage is thought to have been built about 1890. In the 1920s it was acquired by Mr. H. John Colebrook of Fulmer Hall, Buckinghamshire, England. It was sold by auction with several other of his carriages in 1966 and bought by Mr. George Mossman, from whom Mr. Seabrook bought it at a later date.
