A sociable (short for sociable coach) or barouche-sociable is an open, four-wheeled carriage described as 'a cross between a barouche and a victoria'. It had two double seats facing each other. It might be controlled from the interior by an owner-driver or have a box for a coachman.
Yeah, of course if someone tells me about 'a cross between a barouche and a victoria' I know instantly what they are talking about :-D

Thank you. I have never known what they were actually called.
