Red Singing Bird in Golden Cage

German Singing Bird in Gilt Brass Cage

$1,450.00

This particular mechanical singing bird was made in Germany for the American or English Market.   The movements imitate the movements of birds and reproduce the birdsong as authentically as possible. It contains a leather bellows and piston whistle assembly.  

This previously owned but lovingly cared for automaton measures 6 and 3/8 inches in diameter x 12 inches high. The lovely red bird sings beautifully in its gilt brass cage with a navy blue velvet lined cage floor. Delightful!

We suspect that the feathering and tiny flowers were restored. If so, very nicely done.  It's in beautiful  condition and everything looks new. Though bird cages come from the manufacturers without, the previous owners had it under a dome which will come with it.
