Christopher Nicholson, 1932 – 2011, had a life-long
passion for horse-drawn
vehicles. He was fascinated
by their social context, from
the finest State Carriage to
a Wiltshire Hay Wagon. His
collection of hand-drawn
carriage designs and the
large collection of designs
from the Coach Builders,
Harness Makers and
Saddlers Art Journal, plus
many pictures, reflects this diversity and passion.
After the family firm of yacht builders, Camper and
Nicholson, was sold, Christopher designed and built
several types of carriages, twice winning ‘Concours
d’Elégance’.
He was a founder member of the British Driving
Society and Chairman and founder member of the
Carriage Association. With his demand for accuracy
on cataloguing, his insistence on proper conservation
and his extensive knowledge of the history of
carriages, he became the carriage advisor to the
National Trust and helped many other museums.
The following 83 lots (1921-2003) is a Collection
of Coach Builders’ hand-drawn watercoloured and
varnished carriage designs by J. Cooper for Farr & Co.,
Coach Builders, Wigan, circa 1830.
