Product Description
Two birds awaken and sing from a gilded cage, brought to life at the whim of the observer. Rooted in the tradition of the ‘volière de la cour,’ the aviary of the French royal court in a bygone era, each winged automaton displays a unique personality through its vibrant, colorful plumage. Their animated beaks, heads, and tails move in a strikingly lifelike performance, blending artistry with realism. As one of the oldest forms of mechanical art, these singing birds continue to fascinate and enchant across generations.
