Why You’ll Love It
A beautiful vintage nursery piece, this handwoven wicker baby bassinet was created and signed by miniature artist N. Zaleta and dated 1980. The canopy-style bassinet is lovingly dressed in layers of soft white fabric and delicate lace, with a skirt, canopy, coverlet, pillow, and the sweetest pale blue ribbon accents.
A charming one-of-a-kind piece for welcoming a tiny new arrival, this bassinet would be lovely in a traditional nursery scene with a sleeping baby tucked inside.

A Note About Value
Every miniature we offer has been carefully evaluated for its craftsmanship, rarity, condition, provenance, and collectibility. Many of the artisan pieces we sell are one-of-a-kind works that may never appear on the market again. While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.
Our pricing reflects the miniature's place within today's collector market and the years we've spent studying the artists, histories, and values that make these tiny works of art so special.
A Commitment to Research
Every miniature has a story, and uncovering it is one of our greatest passions. We carefully research each piece, but unsigned or illegible works can remain mysteries. If you can identify an artist or provide additional information, we'd be delighted to hear from you and will gladly update the listing to preserve their legacy.
