Comments

The small, modern cradle, stands on two curved rockers and was made to resemble 18th century cradles.  It is sized for a doll.  The cradle has no history of acquisition, use, or origin.  It is made of mahogany, nailed together.  The ornately shaped sides at the head have no early point of reference and may simply be decoration created by the maker.
