About the Item

Hand made Folk Art American wire metal and painted wood birdcage, probably from Pennsylvania circa 1905. Having a rectangular body with a dome top; suitable for hanging, or surface decorative presentation, this birdcage is functional albeit it lacks a perch. The single door entry/exit is spring loaded, and there is a metal slide out removable tray at the bottom. The tole painting to the top border is intact on all four sides with some fading to the top door side panel. Folk art birdcages have long been of appeal to those who collect Americana. Dimensions: 12" wide x 8 1/2" deep x 18 1/2" high.
