Constructing Medieval Furniture: Plans and Instructions With Historical Notes

This webpage links to infants’ cradles from artwork and from extant examples.

Re-creations of medieval cradles have been produced by Geoffrey Bourrette (another photo) and House Brandenburg.

See also the Crib of the Infant Jesus.


The Met also has a few 17th century cradles, including 06.960 and 10.125.672.
