EARLY ANTIQUE AAFA FOLK ART PRIMITIVE WOODEN BABY DOLL CRADLE (c1800) ORIG PAINT SQUARE NAILS DOVETAILED. Up for sale is this wonderful old, 19th-century baby cradle. We don’t know how old but most of these we have seen are from the 1800’s. This one might be earlier that that!! It’s wood, it’s dovetailed, it has wooden pegs, it has big honking square nails and it’s just adorable! The wooden pegs are in the bottom of the crib and go in to the rockers. The big square nails are on the end and we took a close-up of those. It’s a wonderful aged-old greenish paint on the outside and a worn wood dark stained on the inside. There is some edge wear, paint loss, nicks, broken dovetails, cracks, scrapes, splatters, scratches, dings and patina. The top round part of the cradle has a crack in it as you can see, as does the side of the tall part. The side part has pulled away slightly from the crib at the crack. At the footboard there’s also a couple of cracks and the top part is a bit wiggly if you mess with it but it is still well attached. The cradle leans a little to the left as you can see from the end. All of these “issues” are just as you’d expect from an item of this age. 41″ L x 23″ H to the top and 13″ H to the cradle x 20″ W at the rockers and 14 W at the crib. It’s a very nice piece for your collection. Thank you for looking at this item. Please look at the photos for a more accurate description and detail and ask lots of questions if needed.
