19th C. Painted Cradle - Super early cradle in original red paint. Appropriate wear. Retains original leather straps used to hold down infant (rare). All square nailed. Nice cutouts on the sides. Original rocker structure underneath. Purchased from an estate who's grandfather was raised in this cradle. The only thing I can find wrong with this cradle is a small missing piece of wood on the tail board of the rocker at the top edge (see photos). This appears to be a 19th century break and does not detract from the piece at all. Other than that minor detail, the cradle is in perfect condition for it's age and has appropriate wear and distressing.
Measures 39 1/2" long x 18" wide X 19 1/2" tall.
Circa 1860
