The Milord Carriage from Brijuni, History and Conservation

Abstract

The Milord (Mylord) carriage in possession of the National Park Brijuni is a forerunner of the Victoria carriage. Owing to their similar characteristics, they can easily be mixed up. This work presents short overview of the development of the Milord carriage and its most important characteristics. The work focuses on the procedures of conservation and restoration which involved analyses of the material evidence resulting in valuable information about the carriage origin, its original appearance and later destiny. Obtained information indicates that important insights about a certain object can be gained through analysis of material evidence without additional documentation.
