This large indoor cage (or aviary on a stand) made of white-painted wrought ironis characteristic of the early 20th century
Several typical features help date it:
-The pagoda shape: The tapered, curved upper dome draws inspiration from the taste for exoticism and Orientalism that was very much in vogue in the 19th century.
-The ironwork:
-The wrought-iron arabesque and scroll motifs surrounding the door and adorning the base are emblematic of the decorative art of the 1880s through the mid-20th century.
The structure: These large, ceremonial aviaries were designed as true pieces of decorative furniture to adorn winter gardens, verandas, or the grand salons of bourgeois homes of the era.
