Circa 1950s, this stand out piece was designed by Fred Zimbalist, a cousin of Ephrem Zimbalist, Sr. (the famed concert violinist).
Probably inspired by the Singing Bird Cages of Reuge and Griesbaum, etc. It does not have the singing bird bellows mechanism but plays the lilting tune, " The Carnival of Venice Waltz by Thorens. There is a convenient off on pull out knob on the side. Silver pieces such as this one were all Hand tooled in India and no two were exactly the same.
Brass with silver nickel plating and features tasteful ornate tooling. It measures approximately 5" in diameter and 8" high, and will be a striking piece where ever it is placed and incidentally, an interesting addition to a singing bird cage/box collection.
This particular Bird Cage is priced high from a private collector who doesn't want to part with it. If you are interested in a piece like this, please let us know.
