Special Commissions - Cinderella's Carriage


In October 2000, we started work on a piece that would evoke the notion of a childhood fairytale. The image, which came to mind, was the carriage, which took Cinderella to the Ball. This piece took over 12 weeks to complete and has been interpreted by Michael Murphy in every detail to make the journey a magical and romantic encounter.

Pulled by six stately horses, the carriage is replicated in every detail, and artistically finished with a rich array of traditional Waterford hob-nailed diamond cutting. The piece is finished by Michael and evokes magic and wonder which we all remember from our childhoods. Just in case there was truth in that tale of the carriage turning into a Pumpkin on the stroke of Twelve, Michael informed us that he never worked past Midnight while completing this project!
