Catalogue note
A beautiful late 19th Century French engraved and gilded box with a hinged lid which opens to reveal a singing and animated bird which emerges from a pierced scroll grille.
The little bird which sings quite loudly but sweetly, has iridescent blue and green feathers and is in excellent condition. Inscribed "France" verso.
There is some wear in the gilding due to handling over the years. However, not too noticeable as the overall body is made of brass.
A very good example of these very collectable pieces.
We can send a video of the bird singing on request.
Deliver free of charge in UK mainland and we can quote for international delivery.
Payment by bank transfer or PayPal
