Summary
A baby's rocking cradle made from white painted metal which is suspended from two hooks between two wrought iron uprights (19th century). Each upright has an elaborate foliate scroll decorated near the base. Between the two uprights is a horizontal hour-glass shaped piece of metal with a 'boss' in the centre.
