Reuge Singing Bird Cage (as new).
Gilded bird cage with singing bird. The clockwork mechanism causing the feathered bird to turn to and fro whilst singing melodiously.
Made by Reuge in Switzerland who are famous for their fine Music Boxes, the traditional clockwork and leather bellows power a complex mechanism to produce the song and move the bird with perfect timing and clear birdsong.
Reuge have a justly proud reputation for high quality and this example is in excellent condition with beautiful Red feathered bird and the cage with original gilded finish in fine condition. The song and movements are perfect. Reuge are the only maker whose singing birds turn on the perch in addition to head, tail and beak movements. The intermittent function allows the bird to pause realistically at the end of each phrase of the song..
Height 30cm. Suitable for shelf or hanging by the gilded ring.
These Singing Birds are still made by Reuge in Switzerland today. More information on the Reuge Website
