Ca. 1880 Indigo Blur Doll Cradle w/Carved Hearts

Price: 225 including shipping and insurance

Sold by Albion Valley Folk Art and Antiques

For sale is a very sweet and relatively small size antique ca. 1880 doll cradle that came from Ohio, although I think it may have been made in Pennsylvania. It is painted a very dark indigo blue, almost black on the exterior and a sort of khaki on the interior, but what makes it special are the carved hearts on both the exterior and interior of the footboard. The cradle measures about 13 1/2" long, 7 1/4" wide from the nicely carved rockers, and 9" tall from the hood including the rockers. It is in nice antique condition, with one area on the hood that was repaired long ago, as well as minor paint wear, but no really significant issues. Please look carefully at the pictures, and contact me with any questions or for additional photos.
