A barouche is a large, open, four-wheeled carriage, both heavy and luxurious, drawn by two horses. It was fashionable throughout the 19th century. Its body provides seats for four passengers, two back-seat passengers (face-to-face) two behind the coachman's high box-seat. A leather roof can be raised to give back-seat passengers some protection from the weather.
