%unrestricted Basketry Constructed Finest Ornamental Powered Pram Prams Tandem Tastefully
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite tandem pram, circa 1900, is undoubtedly the finest piece in our collection. The pram, designed for transporting two infants in an elegant and ornate fashion, showcases the intricate artistry of basketry at its peak. The tastefully ornamented basketwork frame is adorned with intricate patterns and curves, creating a visually stunning piece that transcends the functional purpose of a pram. The pram's design is reminiscent of the Victorian era, a time when attention to detail and craftsmanship were paramount. The man-powered pram, which would have required considerable effort to push, was a status symbol for the affluent families of the time. The use of natural materials such as willow, rattan, and seagrass added to the pram's appeal, as they were considered luxurious and sophisticated. Despite its age, the tandem pram remains an impressive feat of engineering and design. The separate seats, complete with individual canopies, provide ample comfort and protection for each child, while the sturdy construction ensures a smooth and stable ride. The pram's large wheels, which are covered in rubber for added comfort, allow for easy maneuverability on various terrains. This tandem pram is a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of the past. It represents a time when transportation for infants was not only a practical necessity but also a fashion statement. The intricate basketry work and elegant design make it a standout piece in any collection, and a reminder of the rich history of pram design.
