Hanging Birdcage In Gilded Metal - 20th Century Decorative Work

Gilt metal birdcage suspension - 20th century decorative work

Original gilt metal suspension featuring a stylized cage, richly decorated with scrolls and embellished with numerous birds in composite material and natural feathers.

The openwork structure, decorated with circles and arabesques, evokes an antique cage revisited in a decorative spirit. It is topped by a hook and equipped with its hanging chain plus a space to house a candle.

The birds, arranged all around the structure, add a poetic, animated touch to the whole. Their execution blends molded elements and real feathers, in a naive naturalistic style.

The interior reveals a central location that can accommodate a light source or decorative element.
