This Sjees is estimated to have been built in the first half of the 18th century by a carriage builder in Groningen, Holland. It has been meticulously restored to as close to the original condition as could be determined. Please see the attached pdf (translated from Dutch) for more details on the carriage and its restoration.

Also included in the sale with the Sjees:
Carriage shafts and accessories suitable for one, two, or four horse teams
Complete harness sets for four horses
Travel chest with accessories : feed bucket, hemp halters, hobbles, etc. (see photos)
Bell harnesses for special occasions and holidays which include:
- Two bell straps for the rear horse team
- Two bell straps for the horses in the front of a 4 horse team
- Plumes for the top of the halters
- Bells and plumes for the top of the harness
- Typically Dutch, historical reins for the Sjees 2 horse team

Price is 35K euro. The carriage is located in Usquert, Holland.

Please contact me with any questions at bodhibeewaxworks@gmail.com. I’m helping the gentleman who restored the Sjees with the sale as I’m a native English speaker but I can either get you the information you’re looking for or put you in contact with him directly.

Best Regards,
Wayne
