"Brass Singing Bird Cage With 2 Birds By Bontems (paris)(original)"
Rare and very decorative singing bird automaton. Made in the 4th quarter of the 19th century by Bontems in Paris (France). This songbird cage has a gold-plated brass base to seal the mechanism. The cage contains two original birds. The birds are all in very good condition, with brightly colored feathers. When activated, the birds all sing a song, one responding to the other, with a little pause every now and then... all the birds move their heads, and, while singing, their beaks and tail. High value lively decorative piece. It finds its place in every home or collection. If you are looking for a piece to start a conversation, impress your visitors or simply to appreciate the 19th century art of moving automata, look no further, this is it!
