Gold State Coach, also called Gold State Carriage, ornate enclosed carriage that transports the British monarch to special events, especially coronations. An empty coach is also occasionally used during pageants. The Gold State Coach was built in 1762 by Samuel Butler, using a design by William Chambers. When not in use it is on public display at the Royal Mews of Buckingham Palace. The carriage was commissioned for George III’s wedding to Charlotte Sophia of Mecklenburg-Strelitz and his subsequent coronation, both of which took place in 1761. However, due to the complexity of the coach’s design, it was not completed
