Description: A gorgeous piece of American history from the Property Department of 20th Century Fox. This swinging cradle was purchased at auction from a top Los Angeles auction house. Both the cradle and stand are unobtrusively marked on the bottom with the studio's ID numbers. I tried to have Fox come up with a list of films the cradle appeared in but, as it turns out, they long ago destroyed the Prop Department's records. Per a Valuation Day at Bonham's Auction House in Los Angeles, the cradle itself dates from circa 1804. The stand is of a much later date, most likely the 1920s. The apex of the wooden canopy has a crack running against the grain. No attempt has been made to repair it. The base has knicks and a few scratches as would be expected given the age. The piece comes with rose-colored sateen bedding, the date of which is unknown. This is a very unique piece and can either be used for a new born, of course, or as a special way to display your doll collection.
