RCIN 1516

This cradle, which follows an antiquarian design proposed by the Queen with detailed suggestions from Prince Albert, was intended for their fourth daughter, Princess Louise. The royal and Saxe-Coburg arms are incorporated with emblems of sleep. At the Great Exhibition, Rogers’ work was likened to that of Grinling Gibbons.
