ANTIQUE PINE CRIB

Beautiful old wooden rocking crib, cot, cradle.  Probably pine, peg joints, solid boards and gently curved rockers.  Beautiful colour and patina.  Rocker supports, turned decorative corners, hooded head  end.

Would make lovely display item, toy doll and teddy store in a child's bedroom or nursery.  Wouldn't put a real baby in it as you don't know what the lovely shiny wood has been polished with over the years.

This unique piece would look lovely in a traditional period home or as a feature piece in a contemporary modern home - attractive and functional!

CONDITION
I sell antique and vintage furniture which has been loved and used, sometimes for more than 200 years.  These antique pieces have a record of their long life marked out on them in the form of marks, wear and tear, historic restoration, lifting and loss to veneer, shrinkage splits, and flexibility to joints, old worm holes, scuffs, scratches and tarnish.

This wear and tear is what gives each piece its unique appearance, its character, its patina – its individual beauty – and is what makes each piece special.

I take great care to describe and photograph as accurately and fully as possible with many large clear photos of each piece from all angles.  I bring to your attention any  flaws and anything beyond normal signs of age.  Through eBay I’ve discovered that people's taste and opinion on what constitutes highly desirable character and what constitutes damage is wildly varied and overlaps so please pay close attentions to the photos.

If you happen to prefer antiques that have no signs of age - been in dry, dark, hermetically sealed storage for several generations and never been touched or used,  but you are, by some chance, interested in some of my furniture, it will almost definitely need to be professionally, comprehensively and expensively restored by a specialist antique furniture restorer.

My opinion is personal, subjective and made with no specialist knowledge, training or qualification and I  belong to no relevant professional body or organisation. 

If you are unsure about anything please phone on 07773108577 before bidding and I will gladly talk you through any piece, clarify any points or add extra photos – there’s very little I like more than talking about furniture.
