Hi Michelle,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
The market for antique cradles is quite soft at the moment, not least because they are now a purely decorative item and not at all functional.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:

An antique pine and iron wind-up spindle rocking cradle
American or English, late 19th/early 20th Century
The frame of spindle construction with tall crested headboard and shorter footboard and (later) chicken-wire base, raised on a frame with wind-up rocking mechanism.
38 inches tall, 42 1/2 inches long, 23 1/2 inches wide
CONDITION: Wear appears to be commensurate to age and use; wire base is a later replacement.
$75-125*
*represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary.

Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, and thank you again for using Mearto.
