Offered in this sale is an ...antique all original high quality untouched Bontems French brass singing bird cage automaton that likely dates to the early 1900s. This is in untouched original condition. The bird chirps and moves its head but the wings don't move. I am not sure if they are supposed to or not. Overall the piece measures roughly 11" tall x 6 1/4" in diameter. The base is marked "MADE IN FRANCE" along with what I presume is the serial number 5648871. The felt base is dusty and the feathers crowning the head have come off but are in the cage in one wig like piece. When I ship I will carefully take this with a tweezers and place safely in a separate box tiny box so it does not get crushed. These early vintage automatons are highly collectable and I am sure someone will want to clean this and restore. The metal work is great and has no damage or scratches. The original gilt patina is great.  Please be sure to enlarge and zoom each image for a close up view of the detail and decoration and the condition. Do not hesitate to send me a message if you have questions or would like additional images I always guarantee everything that I sell to be as described.
