    What age and country of origin would you say this Baby crib is,

    I think Georgian and from Scandinavia country maybe Norway ,

    It in a strange sort of blue/green colour the base slates fit into a groove then look like it has pitch/tar holding them into place ,

    And the pictures are definitely painted,

    Found in the back of a other dealers shop amongst his Rubbish just couldn't resist its charm and naivete. 20160802_151846.jpg 20160802_151910.jpg 20160802_152000.jpg 20160802_151936.jpg

    My first inclination would be modern, painted as a decorator item, but my knowledge of Scandinavian antiques is ...minimal. It is pretty though.

    I suggest taking it outside for better pictures and remove the white tag as it can confuse centre weighted metering into underexposure.

    I live in USA, If I remember rightly. the whole place looked like the American Pickers show, sheds piled high, , There was a lot of local interest stuff, I also bought a Sweet Sue, and an old pram, some silverware and pottery, really do not know any history and yes Ill take pics and post. I Just get the feeling that mine is newer

    This is my take as well but will reserve full judgement until there are more/better pictures.
