Antique, New and Vintage Bird Cages

Antique, new and vintage bird cages are popular collector’s items, and as decorative accents, they’re versatile. No matter what specific furniture style, color palette or general theme you’ve pursued for your interior, a bird cage can be the perfect centerpiece to draw the eye.

The earliest and most notable uses of bird cages can be traced all the way back to ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt, China, Greece and Rome. In the early 20th century, birds were the most popular indoor pets in America. Today, if you’ve got a bird cage but aren’t keeping a bird as a pet, there are a wealth of bird cage home decor ideas to introduce in any room in your home.

Because of their unique shape, bird cages can help bring much-needed visual flair and textural contrast to a home office. Suspend a bird cage populated with your treasured collectibles over your desk or reading nook in your home office or study, or think of it as housing for a provocative lighting solution and add ceramic chandeliers or candle enclosures to give your workspace a warm nostalgic feel.

There are also several ways to accent a living room, entryway or bedroom with vintage bird cages. When repurposed as home accents, bird cages stand as a centerpiece for dining-table decor with ribbons, fruits and flowers or as a candleholder. A bird cage filled with gourds, acorn squash and pumpkins can add a festive air to meals outdoors during a brisk autumn evening or perhaps brighten up your patio or firepit area for a garden party over the summer. Indoors, pair an old bird cage or two with decorative glass or ceramic sculptures for a focal point, or add your favorite potted plants or other greenery to bring natural elements to a corner of your dining room. Vintage bird cages can serve as unconventional display cases for photography or paintings as well.

On 1stDibs, find a collection of decorative antique, new and vintage bird cages today.
