About the Item

This antique brass baby cradle is a beautifully crafted decorative piece, with solid brass birds that stand on top of the piece, perfect for collectors of vintage furnishings and doll enthusiasts. Featuring elegant brass construction with gracefully curved legs, vertical spindle rails, and ornate scroll detailing, this cradle reflects timeless craftsmanship and Victorian-era charm. The design includes a suspended frame with a curved arm—ideal for hanging a decorative canopy or drape—enhancing its old-world aesthetic. While originally designed as a baby cradle, due to modern safety regulations and legal limitations, this piece is not intended for actual infant use. Instead, it serves as a stunning display piece for antique dolls, teddy bears, or as a unique decorative accent in a nursery, playroom, or collector’s showcase. The warm golden brass finish adds a touch of luxury, while the classic form evokes nostalgia and historical character. Whether you are a serious antique collector, interior designer, or doll enthusiast, this cradle is a rare find that blends history, artistry, and charm. Its versatile decorative potential makes it an eye-catching centerpiece in any vintage-inspired setting. There is no seat height so I placed the number 1 where they ask for it. Measures 66.75 tall x 44.75 wide x 23.75 deep.
