Tweet, Tweet…. Tweedily Deedily Dee… Tweet, Tweet… Tweet TWEET!!!! Oh ya, that’s going to be stuck in your head all day!! LOL!! And, maybe it should be because… WOW!! What a Rockin’ (Robin) Residence for a Bold…. Bougie Bird!!! This is a fabulous vintage North African Tunisian and French Colonial style bird cage composed of a white painted metal dome with beautiful blue delicately hand painted decorative details & topped with a lovely tiered disc finial hosting a metal ring for hanging & the inner dome holds a suspending wire perch with a natural wood bar. The dome (which actually looks a bit like a hot air balloon!) rests upon a wonderful wood box-ish style base with 4 open front panels… only one of those panels is a door with a hook & eye latch and there is an open slot under the door where a pan or newspaper can be placed for easy catching of parakeet poo-poo’s, piddles, & bird seed cleaning purposes. It’s an absolute CASTLE for your Canary!!!! Although, due to the “perfectly-imperfect” all over time created vintage patina consisting of chips in the paint, a few chiggers & rust spots on this piece, we would be a bit leery actually using it to house your feathered friend as they may be intrigued to eat the paint chips or gnaw on the wires. You could always mount a “faux-feathered friend” on the perch if you choose, but it’s quite extraordinary standing solo. And, its Incredible Islamic & Tunisian architecture bear a marvelous Moorish & French Colonial style sure to be stunning among your other decorative pieces as it exudes an exceptional, rather avant-garde presence. Either way, it’s quite the conversation piece!! Don’t let this FANTASTIC FIND simply FLY away!!! Make it YOURS!!!
Early 20th Century Decorative Bird Cage Rustic North African Tunisian French Colonial White & Blue
$995
Awesome vintage North African Tunisian French Colonial white & blue painted metal & wood base decorative and rustic bird cage. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that this is vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear even if it has been refinished or restored. Specifically, it bears a lot of all-over patina including chips, chiggers, and some rust that does not detract from its overall vintage beauty. Please see photos, zoom in for details, and see long description as they are part of the condition report. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, Early 20th Century.
