Square Chinese Bamboo Birdcage with Scroll Charm, circa 1900
About the Item
This well-proportioned birdcage was once home to the pet of a Qing-dynasty aristocrat. Dated to the early 20th century, the square cage is carefully assembled of thin rods of bamboo with a sliding side door and a metal hook on the top. Several accessories are affixed to the sides of the cage, including two short perches, two wooden cups for water and birdseed, and a small charm carved from hardwood in the shape of an unfurled scroll. The metalwork of the hook mimics the form of bamboo stalks and has weathered with time, developing a verdigris patina. A work of exquisite craftsmanship, this fine birdcage is a wonderful collector's item and a storied sculptural object.
From the collection of Frances and Gary Comer.
