Due to its slender shape and stylish appearance, the American spider is a striking and prized carriage among collectors.
Van Tassell & Kearney was a leading American auction house of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, specializing in the sale of carriages, horses and harnesses to the New York elite, including the Vanderbilt, Belmont and Mackay families. Although they did not build carriages themselves, they worked closely with renowned manufacturers such as Henry Hooker & Co. and offered custom-made carriages, including the "Stamford wagonette".
