Market chaise
A market chaise or simply chaise (pronounced: [ʃɛːz] "schääs") is a robust two-axle handcart that used to be used to bring goods to the market, especially in the Baden region .
The structure of such a chaise consists of wickerwork, the upper end of which is reinforced with a wooden frame. Underneath is the sprung chassis. The wheels are covered with a solid rubber tire. Unlike a handcart , the chaise is not pulled, but pushed using a short handle.
With the decline in agriculture, chaises have largely disappeared from the street scene, but are sometimes used as a transport vehicle for Father's Day or May hikes. In the Basel Carnival are besides the car chaises used to the artistic subjects to lead through the streets and present.
