Description
Cage with bird; late 19th century.
Bronze, feathers, stuccoed wood and brass.
In need of restoration and fine-tuning.
Measurements: 29 x 13 x 17 cm.
Bird cage made in bronze with an automaton bird inside. This type of objects were very appreciated since the 19th century, with a great variety of models, factories, materials, etc., normally trying to hide the mechanism that moves them for a greater surprise in the spectator and often accompanied by a musical mechanism. However, they were always intended for the upper classes, as their construction and design required high quality and mastery due to the delicate machinery and materials chosen.
