This unusual four-storey Chinese pagoda style bird cage dates from 1880 in the Chinoiserie style. Constructed from wood and bamboo, the tiered structure has a terracotta red painted finish accented with hand-carved pillars, decorative balustrades, a central entrance staircase, and multi-coloured elements along the lower railings. Each section is separate, housing a separate floor, with stairways on all four sides and a finial at the very top. The wooden structure shows no breaks or splits. The piece measures 175 cm high, 85 cm wide, and 85 cm deep. Today, this decorative object finds a home as an empty corner display piece or focal point in a large orangery or conservatory, or within a large hall.

FAQs

Pagoda-style bird cages originated in Asia, particularly China, as architectural miniatures designed to house songbirds while demonstrating structural craftsmanship and status.

These structures are constructed using wood, bamboo, and wire, often incorporating hand-carved detailing, painted finishes, and joined timber frameworks.

Historical pieces feature hand-cut joinery, original painted pigments displaying natural surface wear, hand-carved architectural details, and natural patina across the timber elements.

A decorative cage functions as a focal point when displayed on a console, sideboard, or within a conservatory, introducing architectural form to classic or eclectic room schemes.

Clean gently using a dry, soft brush to remove dust from carved areas, avoid direct sunlight and humid environments to prevent timber movement, and maintain unlacquered surfaces with suitable wax.
