During the 1800s, the use of carriages increased. Numerous new models were developed, each with varying purposes and designs.

One such carriage, known as Clarence, was manufactured by the company Adams, Hopper & Jolly in Norwich, England, likely in the 1830s. It was later imported to Sweden and Skarhult Castle in Skåne. Based on the coat of arms painted on the door, it is believed that the carriage was present in Skåne in 1849 during the wedding of Jules von Schwerin and Ingeborg Rosencrantz. Today, it is part of the Malmö Museum collection.

A memory image, recorded in 1928, of the carriage reads: "Many vehicles from near and far gather in the castle courtyards during festivities and weekends, and more than a dozen fully harnessed four-horse carriages have repeatedly been placed in gates and stables. On such an occasion, the Skarhult Society’s Baron Jules von Schwerin and Baroness Ingeborg, née Rosencrantz, make their way forward in a heavy English Clarence. The basket does not sway back and forth but rests steadily on modern springs. The horses are well-behaved, and the coachman Måns expertly wields the whip.”

This was a highly exclusive and expensive carriage, a status symbol when it rolled forward, drawn by two or four horses. Regardless of the weather, the aristocracy sat protected behind window glass, on cushioned seats in a softly-sprung carriage basket. In comparison to the farmers' unsprung wooden carts, one can see a nearly modern level of comfort here!
