E.M. Reilly "Carpathe Rifle"

I ran across this Christies 1997 ad for a Reilly "Carpathe Rifle" - SN 32845 would date to 1893 (no pictures):

A RARE 7 X 57(R) MM SINGLE-SHOT SIDELOCK NON-EJECTOR CARPATHE-RIFLE BY E.M. REILLY, NO. 32845
Carved serpentine detonating, best foliate-scroll engraving, bright and reblued finish, well-figured stock with pistolgrip, sling-eye, horn-capped forend, the barrel (converted to 7x57) with matt top and open-sights

What is a Carpathe Rifle? It looks like just a single barrel, centerbreak, center-fire rifle. There is no info on the internet. There is one ad for a Holland & Holland "Carpathe Rifle" pictured below dating to 1895:
