American Sulky "Spider" in yellow lacquered wood with black fillets and wrought iron. Late 19th-early 20th century. Diameter of wooden spoked wheels: 150 cm Length of stretchers: 238 cm Width: 154 cm Sulky: American name, from the verb "to sulk", because you were alone on board. Araignée: French name, the large wheels and long stretchers evoking the profile of the Aranéide. Provenance: The Ballière family, one of the great dynasties of breeders, owners and managers of the Trotting institution. René (president of the Société du Demi-Sang, later SECF, from 1935 to 1970), Henri (main designer of the Grosbois Training Centre, 1962), Jacques (Hérouvillette stud), Jean (Le Bois stud)... For many years, the Ballière family's spider opened the parade of competitors in the biggest races at Vincennes: Prix d'Amérique, de France, de Paris, de Cornulier, du Président de la République.... We would like to thank Alain Pagès, curator of the Trotting Museum at Grosbois and company commissioner at the SETF, for his invaluable help in drafting this notice. - Expert : IEP CONSEIL
