Description
44" (112 cm.) h. 39"l. Of finest mahogany, the cradle rests upon fancily spindled legs. The cradle is finished in beautifully chosen wooden veneers that form a sun ray pattern that extends from the body of the cradle into the hood in one continuous egg-shaped form. The veneers are bordered with inlay striping, and the cradle has brass carrying handles on either side, and the fragment remains of luxurious silk lining inside the hood. Probably English, early 19th century. An exceptional piece of furniture, in superb state of preservation.
