The birdcage is filled with delicate accessories, including a woven straw mat and a straight perch, textured to resemble a tree branch. Three delicate porcelain cups for holding water and birdseed are fastened to the sides of the cage by carved wooden pieces, each finished with a bright blue glaze. An additional cup carved from dark hardwood is mounted to one side and a small tortoiseshell scroll charm decorates the far side. A fantastic collector’s item, we love this elegant birdcage as a storied sculptural object and a keepsake from a bygone era.
From the collection of Frances and Gary Comer.
