FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION , A TRUE , PERIOD 18th CENTURY LOUIS XV ROCKING CRADLE. (BERCEAU a BASCULE) ORIGINALLY OWNED BY AN ARISTOCRAT , OR " PETIT NOBLESSE " FAMILY.

WITH IT'S FANTASTICALLY HAND CARVED DETAILS , THIS PEICE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. IT ROCKS NICELY ON ITS ROCOCO SCULPTED WOOD ELEGANT ROCKING SYSTEM. WE HAD ALWAYS ENVISIONED RESTORING IT BACK TO ITS ORIGINAL GLORY, MEANING ENHANCING OR TOTALLY RESTORING. AT THE FOOT OF THE CRADLE , AS WELL AS BOTH SIDES OF THE CRADLE BACK , WHERE VIGNETTES WERE ALSO EXISTANT. AS WELL AS NEWLY (22K GOLD) LEAFING IT.

THIS DID NOT OCCUR AS THE VIOLENCE IN PARIS WAS ESCALATING , AND WE ABANDONED FRANCE AFTER MORE THEN TWO DECADES. WE STORE THE ROCKING CRADLE IS IN A/C STORAGE , AND PERHAPS YOU HAVE A CLIENT FOR IT. AS IT'S SUCH A WASTE NOT TO USE IT.

IT WAS A THRILL TO FIND , AND WE KNOW THAT THE REASON FOR ITS GOOD CONDITION WAS ONGOING SENTIMENT BY THE (ONE) OWNER FAMILY GOING BACK ALMOST 300 YEARS. WHEN FOUND (IN A CHATEAU IN CENTRAL FRANCE) WE HELD ONTO IT AND DID SOME PREPARATORY BLUE PRIMER TO PROTECT THE WOOD AS RECOMMENDED BY OUR MASTER CARPENTER (CHEZ STRAURE). (HOWEVER PICTURES WERE TAKEN BEFOREHAND , THIS WAS TO SHOW THE LIGHT TRACES OF THE VIGNETTES FOR THE RESTORATION). WE HAVE PRICED THE PIECE FOR FAR LESS THAN ITS COST.

WE HAVE REDUCED THE PRICE ANYWAY. IT WOULD BE SO NICE IF USED AS INTENDED IN 1750's FRANCE. THANKS FOR LOOKING , THE MEASUREMENTS WILL FOLLOW BUT IT IS QUITE LARGE , IT IS AN IMPOSING PEICE.
