As gorgeous as some of today’s crib designs are, I sometimes feel their smaller counterparts, the cradle and bassinet, can be just as dramatic. So many of our clients buy these spectacular pieces and use them as a family heirloom to be passed on for generations of babies.
This cradle is one of our signature pieces. It makes an elegant statement with simple design and lace-trimmed sheers.
I am a huge fan of metallic, especially the way it’s done in this gorgeous cradle by Bratt Decor. This cradle is so rich and luxurious, it can be used as a display piece in the nursery long after baby outgrows it.
Upholstered cribs are a growing trend, but I adore this upholstered cradle by AFK even more. Perfect for a boy or a girl, this is definitely an heirloom keepsake.
There is nothing like an over-the-top bassinet to be the showstopper in any nursery. This collection of bassinets by Lulla Smith is one of the most elegant I have come across. I think it’s because the bedding reminds me of a wedding dress…Love it!

Well, you're right, Marissa. You are probably going to use this only a few months of your baby's life, but just keep it for future children. Like what Michelle said, these make perfect heirloom pieces. If you get a really great one, your child can pass it on to his children, and his children's children!

Yes, indeed, cradles like these are so romantic and have that rustic and nostalgic charm. But I don't find them practical, given the very little amount of time they're going to be in use.

All these cradles are gorgeous! I find it hard to pick one design!
