Description from the seller
Small vintage metal cradle – retro style 1940s-1950s
Charming small bed with twisted steel and rope mesh. Patina of time. Good overall condition, sturdy structure.
Estimated period: 1940s–50s (twisted metal style, spoke wheels, original mesh).
Moment of imagination:
It was the cot of twin sisters. They shared it for their dolls, also twins, born somewhere between two sirens of World War II. The sisters took turns during the day to take out the dolls that wriggled too much. At the time, a light fabric covered it all… but time, it ate the fabric. The metal held up, the frame remained. The fabric evaporated, like a memory too fragile.
Sold today without the dolls (sold separately) but still full of their comings and goings.
