Description

A decorative 19th century folk art style bird cage made from wooden boards painted dark green with wire grills to the front and back. The grill on the back slides up to allow access to the interior, and on the front a semi-circular metal feeder hooks over the bars. Inside are some perches, with a little metal drawer below…

This is a lovely little thing, and judging by the compact size and the carrying handle on top, I would assume was used for transporting small birds.

Condition: Good condition with wear and surface patina in accordance with age.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Preserve the original surface by dusting gently with a dry, soft cloth, avoiding moisture and chemical cleaning agents that could degrade the historic painted finish and aged wood.

This item functions effectively as a sculptural focal point on a sideboard or mantelpiece, introducing historical texture, organic colour, and folk art charm into neutral or rustic spaces.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate joinery such as hand-cut nails or dovetails, genuine surface wear consistent with age, oxidised metal wire, and layered patinated paint finishes lacking modern synthetic binders.

Traditional birdcages were typically constructed from local softwoods or hardwoods such as pine and oak, combined with hand-drawn iron or brass wire, and finished with organic milk paint or oil-based pigments.

Antique birdcages range from simple utilitarian enclosures crafted by folk artisans to elaborate architectural models produced during the 18th and 19th centuries to house exotic pets for the wealthy.
