Barrel-Form Bamboo Birdcage

Offered by: PAGODA RED

Description
This large wooden birdcage was once home to the tiny pet bird of a Qing-dynasty aristocrat. Dated to the early 20th century, this barrel-form cage is carefully assembled of thin bamboo rods set within a bent bamboo frame. Small fretwork carvings decorate the cage with a scrollwork design of two dragons facing a Shou symbol medallion. The birdcage hangs from a metal hook secured to the top and has a removable round base.
