Vintage Wrought Iron Cradle, 1920s

Chairish

$457

This charming vintage wrought iron crib, dating back to the first half of the 20th century, is an antique piece with an ethereal and timeless charm. The frame features a "faux bamboo" finish, typical of a certain Art Nouveau design style that sought to combine the strength of metal with the aesthetic lightness of natural materials. The central body, with its characteristic boat shape, is composed of a dense series of curved rods that create a delicate interplay of transparency. The side uprights, embellished with brass knobs and decorative scrolls at the base, support the basket, allowing for its rocking motion. This restored piece maintains a splendid cream-colored patina, making it perfect for decorating a child's bedroom or as a dramatic collector's item in a sophisticated setting, combining history and decorative poetry. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no official proof of authenticity, however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising from misattribution
