This elegant birdcage is beautifully woven of thin strips of bamboo in the spirit of fine decorative basketry. The horizontal weft wraps around the cage with graceful curves, mirrored by the curved tripod form of the woven base. The cage includes two wooden perches, a woven top handle, and a round door on one side. Once home to a small pet bird, this rustic birdcage lives on as a beautiful work of sculpture.

From the collection of Frances and Gary Comer.

Due to its fragility, this item is only available via white glove delivery or local pickup.

What They're Saying

Elizabeth Krueger | Elizabeth Krueger Design

“PAGODA RED was extremely supportive in helping to pull accessory options together for the Lake Forest Showhouse. After providing them with details and our vision on how we were looking to finish our space, Laurene helped curate options that made it easy for us to edit and finalize. It's also no surprise that the unique pieces we used in our showhouse space were some of the first to sell.”
