Known as a \"cage à oiseaux,\" small handmade cages like this were built for canaries and finches kept in French kitchens and shopfronts through the period. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLook inside and the details settle into place. A wooden perch runs across the middle. An original terracotta feeding pot sit lashed in place with the original wire. A working drawer slides out at the bottom for cleaning, still moving freely on its original guides.
