Christian Becksvoort made this turn-of-the-century baby sleigh for his first child. The coach is fashioned from kerf-bent solid ash. The undercarriage parts were laminated from ash strips and joined with mortises and tenons reinforced with brass plates and rods. Half-oval brass banding protects the wear surface of the swan-neck runners, and cast-brass bells dangle from their upper ends.
