Ref Wild Cherrywood Cot	UK£650
Circa early to mid 1800s

Price to include a slatted wooden base ready for a mattress.

We were delighted to find this lovely provincial cot. Mostly in France we find the ubiquitous iron cots, so this is as refreshing as it is charming.
It is made from wild cherry, a wood that is found throughout the French countryside and has a wonderful glow and patina of years. If you take another look you will see that the head end is slightly different to the foot end - plainer. That is because there would have been drapes hanging at the head end both for decorative purposes and to keep the baby cosy.
