Cradle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Cradle by an unknown artist. Black leather cradle with a flat rectangular headboard and a curved, low footboard. The cradle has a curved indentation on the front center where the mattress or bedding would rest. Small metal studs line the edges of the cradle and headboard. The exterior features decorative rivets and embellishments. The cradle sits on four short, curved legs. A small rectangular plaque on the floor in front of the cradle with blurry, illegible text. The background is a plain light gray color.
