Restored Late Victorian Wicker & Bamboo Swinging Cradle

About the Item

This dark-stained Victorian wicker, rattan, and bamboo cradle possess intricate patterns that give it an almost Gothic quality. An array of symmetrical reed arches and seamless striping crisscrossing designs are worked into the entire piece. The crib includes a detachable wicker crown that holds mosquito netting to be draped over the cradle as a canopy to protect the baby from insect bites. The swinging cradle is held by two brass joints and sits on a four-legged base. 1900, United States SOLD AS A DISPLAY ONLY We only purchase and sell the best and finest rattan furniture made by the best and most well-known American designers and manufacturers, including Ritts Company.

Herb Ritts Sr. also invented the "S springs" under the cushions in the early 50s and replaced the wrapping with preformed plastic.
