Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE EDWARDIAN ERA:
Acanthus carving on the column necks: hand-carved detailing from the Edwardian Regency revival.
Reeded upright posts: fine fluting produced in early twentieth-century workshops.
Splayed sabre legs with turned paterae: neoclassical design revived in the Edwardian era.
Brass pivots and stops: swinging hardware made for early twentieth-century nurseries.
Soft wear and rubbing to the base: many years of domestic use.

This Independent Date Guide was compiled by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. It works only from the photographs shown on this page and is never told the date the dealer has declared. It is a guide, not a guarantee of age, and occasional errors can occur.

This Edwardian mahogany rocking crib cot displays a dark brown timber finish, woven cane side panels, and brass swing fittings. Additional details visible include turned upright supports, out-swept legs with square block feet, applied patrae, a strengthening cross stretcher, a tall swan neck column with an integrated drape pole, and a white lace drape. The dimensions measure 168 cm high, 120 cm wide, and 53.5 cm deep. In a contemporary home, this cradle serves as a decorative nursery display piece or a unique storage holder for blankets and throws. The swinging mechanism allows the bassinet section to rock smoothly between the upright posts when the wooden dowel is disengaged.

FAQs

Originating from the early 20th century, Edwardian rocking cribs typically combine rich mahogany framing with lightweight woven cane panels, designed to swing smoothly within an elevated trestle stand.

These pieces were constructed from fine hardwoods such as mahogany or oak, featuring hand-woven rattan cane panels for ventilation and frequently including a tall wooden pole to support protective fabric drapes.

Authentic period examples exhibit traditional joinery, original woven cane detailing, hand-turned upright supports, and period-correct iron or brass pivot hooks rather than modern mechanical gliders.

While primarily decorative today, these cribs serve as striking sculptural accents in master bedrooms, guest suites, or traditional nurseries when dressed with soft linens or layered with decorative textiles.

Dust the timber frame regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and nourish with natural beeswax, while occasionally moistening the cane work with a light spray of water to prevent drying and snapping.
