Description

Singing bird automatons inside a brass cage. When the side handle is cranked the inner bellows produce a warbling that sounds like birds chirping. Turning the handle also makes the birds move. The bottom of the cage is marked "Made in France 5729955".

From the collection of Alan Sax 10-1/2"D x 20"T.
