About the Item
Large Architectural Bird Cage
Late 19th century
This striking late 19th-century bird cage is conceived in an architectural format, featuring symmetrical towers, domed wire enclosures, and an arched central pediment evoking classical and garden pavilion forms. Constructed of wood and wire and painted in a soft grey-blue tone with red and yellow accents, the cage displays a decorative sensibility typical of European ornamental bird cages of the period. The painted sunburst motifs and arcade detailing suggest both folk-art charm and formal design influence. Such elaborate cages were often intended for display in conservatories, salons, or winter gardens, reflecting the era’s fascination with nature, leisure, and decorative craftsmanship. Today, the piece functions equally well as a sculptural decorative object.
