This elegant birdcage is beautifully woven of thin strips of bamboo in the spirit of fine decorative basketry. The horizontal weft wraps around the cage with graceful curves, mirrored by the curved tripod form of the woven base. The cage includes two wooden perches, a woven top handle, and a round door on one side. Once home to a small pet bird, this rustic birdcage lives on as a beautiful work of sculpture.

From the collection of Frances and Gary Comer.

Due to its fragility, this item is only available via white glove delivery or local pickup.
