Wicker Stroller Appraisal

Miniature Wicker Pram / Doll Stroller

This item is a miniature decorative wicker pram or doll stroller, primarily dark brown or black in color. It features intricate wickerwork throughout its construction. The main body of the pram, which serves as the carriage for a doll or small plush toy (in this case, a light brown teddy bear), is crafted from woven wicker strands, forming a basket-like shape with an open top. The back of the carriage has a more open, criss-cross woven pattern, while the front and sides appear to have a tighter, more solid weave, possibly with a caning pattern visible on the front facing panel. The wheels are solid, likely also made of wicker-wrapped wood or a similar material, and are proportionally large for the size of the pram, suggesting a decorative rather than fully functional toy. The frame supporting the carriage and wheels is also dark, sturdy, and appears to be made of wicker wrapped around a hidden structure or solid dark wood. There's a handle visible at the back, which is also dark and appears to be part of the same wicker or wooden construction. The teddy bear inside is light beige/tan with a black nose and appears to be a typical plush toy, not necessarily antique. The overall condition shows some visible wear, particularly dust and light debris caught within the woven patterns, suggesting it has been displayed or stored for some time. There are no obvious signs of major damage like breaks or missing pieces, but the surface could benefit from cleaning. The style suggests it could be a vintage piece, possibly mid to late 20th century, designed as a decorative item or for doll display rather than child's play.
