Perfectly proportioned and delightfully ornate, this wooden bird cage was once home to the pet of a Qing-dynasty aristocrat. Dated to the mid-19th century, the fine bird cage is carefully assembled from thin strips of wood and fitted with two perches. The cage is complete with the original owner's accessories, including decorative carved bone charms, jade beads, and delicate porcelain cups for holding water and birdseed. A fantastic collector's item, we love this petite bird cage as a storied sculptural object or a new home for a feathered friend.

Elizabeth Krueger | Elizabeth Krueger Design

“PAGODA RED was extremely supportive in helping to pull accessory options together for the Lake Forest Showhouse. After providing them with details and our vision on how we were looking to finish our space, Laurene helped curate options that made it easy for us to edit and finalize. It's also no surprise that the unique pieces we used in our showhouse space were some of the first to sell.”
