Signed Wicker Baby Pram with Porcelain Infant Doll and Cat by Bridget McCarty

Why You’ll Love It

This enchanting miniature baby carriage vignette is a beautifully composed artisan scene centered around a handwoven wicker pram signed by the artist Deline (circa 1983). The delicate carriage features finely constructed woven wicker, slender metal framing, and classic spoked wheels, capturing the charm of an antique nursery pram in perfect 1:12 scale. Nestled inside rests a sweet hand-painted porcelain baby girl, dressed in a handmade lace gown and bonnet, softly wrapped in a hand-draped knitted baby blanket.

Adding a touch of personality to the scene is a tiny fluffy white kitten with a pink silk ribbon bow, created by miniature animal artist Bridget McCarty. Together, these elements form a gentle story of nursery life, with remarkable craftsmanship from two respected miniature artists. The entire vignette feels intimate and lively, perfect for collectors who appreciate pieces that bring narrative and warmth to their displays. It would be especially charming in a dollhouse nursery, on a miniature veranda awaiting an afternoon stroll, or beside a cradle or rocking chair, where the combination of delicate textiles, porcelain features, and the playful kitten creates a scene that feels both tender and alive.
