This is a true statement object—part sculpture, part furniture—perfect for grand entryways, eclectic interiors, or collectors who appreciate old-world craftsmanship with incredible visual presence.

Resting on an intricately carved cabriole-leg stand, the piece displays layers of aged gilt, patina, and hand-modeled details that make it feel more like a theatrical prop or museum curiosity than a traditional cage. Its scale and silhouette create an unmistakable sense of romance and drama.

Condition:
This is an antique, timeworn piece with visible wear appropriate to age. Some small decorative elements have detached over the years (included in a bag with the piece), and portions of the sculpture are fragile. Ideal for display as-is in a maximalist or old-world interior, or for a collector who may wish to stabilize/restore it further.

Pickup: Rancho Santa Fe, CA.

A rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind Rococo fantasy object with extraordinary presence and charm. See less
