Silver Double Singing Bird Box
Located in New Orleans, LA
One of the rarest examples of a mechanical bird box ever seen, this extraordinary box features not one, but two brilliantly colored love birds. When the lid is opened, the delightful pair begin to sing their sweet, melodious tune, with their bodies, wings and beaks in full motion. While the presence of two singing birds makes this an exceptional rarity, it is distinguished in all other respects as well. The sterling silver casing is handsomely set with panels of powder blue enamel and hand-painted porcelain miniatures decorated with serene seascapes. The complex mechanism has the amazing ability to successfully engage two independently moving birds within a casing typically designed for a single bird. The one-of-a-kind objet d'art was inspired by the mechanical complexity of 19th-century Swiss automata, and it represents the pinnacle of the art form.
