Beautiful antique very long bassinet which was awesome for our long baby - stayed in it until at least 6 months!

Loved this Bassinet as at a good height for bending over to pick up baby. Most bassinets are only used for 2-3 months due to their shorter length.

Bassinet Frame

• overall height from Netting hanger to floor :152cm (best guess as hard to measure!)
• overall floor length 104cm
• Leg width 56cm

Cradle

• 92cm L x 49cm W x 34cm H -height floor to top of cradle 81cm
• Cradle can be unhooked from frame if needing to travel like we did for night or two in hotel while visiting friends.

Draft excluder in excellent condition as we sewed it to fit length. Material unisex Peter Rabbit print.

Organic firm mattress and organic sheets don't have any stains or rips. Mattress from Innature Auckland specially made for us and reflected in price.

Painted white, it was sold to us secondhand and had been with previous family through 3 generations and they said before that, it came from the Todd Family in Wellington who used to own a large car company in the early 1900's. Unfortunately there is no paper trail to back this up.

Swings or can be stabilised. We just used a couple of short belts to do this. We used a flat cotton nappy under the mattress to slightly raise the head end when needed.

Made from strong flexible cane. Has some decorative bits missing from bottom decoration, as you would expect with age. We didn't really notice anyway as our focus was on baby. When buying, I looked for ages for this length and width.

Very special antique.
