Rare Architectural Antique Clocktower French Birdcage. Extraordinarily rare, this curious French antique almost defies explanation. It resembles an architectural miniature of a village cathedral, yet it was created to house small birds, too. It is painted with pigments and time, giving way to lovely neutral creams,golden browns, and time-worn patina. Three sides look like architecture; the back side is a vintage birdcage. The central "tower" has the name ABARRAT in wooden lettering. It would be lovely on a mantle, a sofa table, crowning a garden conservatory, etc. Absolute collector's gold.
Approximate dimensions: 34"H X 24"W X 21"D Provenance: Olympia Fine Antiques Fair in London
