Description: Sensational Rococo Victorian mahogany swinging cradle on
stand. It has a beautiful elegant curved frame with extensive floral
carvings. There is a top pediment at one end and brass hook at the other
that would have supported a valence that would have held a draped veil.
This could be recreated in the fabric of your choice. The cradle itself is
the most amazing wooden carved curved "bucket". It is held to the
frame with an original brass rod support at either end. A small wooden
wedge at one end can be swung down to keep the cradle from swinging. There
is old fabric in the base of the cradle with buttons. A fancy carved cross
stretcher supports the two ends. Several times each year we get a piece
that makes us say "Wow." This is one of those special one-of-a-kind
pieces!
