Cradle Settee
c. 1937
Imagine a cozy spot to rock three babies at once! Frederick Jackson's 1937 design for a "Cradle Settee" is a whimsical piece of furniture that combines the soothing motion of a rocking chair with the capacity of a park bench. The dark wood is beautifully accented with golden, leafy patterns along the top rail and a zigzag design on the lower stretcher, giving it a touch of rustic elegance. The seat is cleverly divided into three sections by low wooden partitions, making it a practical, if slightly unusual, solution for a busy nursery or a very relaxed porch.
