About the Item
A Very Fine French or Russian 19th Century Empire Style Mahogany, Ormolu Mounted and Parcel-Gildwood Carved Crib & Bedding. The egg-shaped oblong rocking cradle supported at each end by columnar standards.The cradle base conforms to the rocking cradle and is adorned with laurel wreath gild bronze corner crests, all supported on cabriole legs with finely cast gild bronze acanthus leaf mounts. Turned gilded bedding and drapery support having a cast gilt bronze terminal of an eagle holding a ring in its beak. It also includes mattresses, bedding, Irish hand embroidered linens and matching draperies. One pair of Irish linen draperies measures 25" X 124". One pair measures 20" (10" with curtain rod hooks) x 124". Some ormolu bear the letters "P.R."; "N.H"; ":E.J" and other mounts bear what appear to be a name in cyrillic. Circa: 1860-1870. (Maybe earlier).
Another possibility is that this fantastic quality crib is actually an earlier piece, plausible by either Pierre-Antoine Bellangé (French, 1757–1827) or by Pierre-Benoît Marcion (French, 1769-1840), but not guaranteed.
Provenance: The Collection of Linda Taubman, MI. originally purchased from Mallett at Bourdon House Ltd. London, England, on March 4, 1987.
