Why You’ll Love It
An incredibly detailed miniature eighteenth-century style birdcage by celebrated French artisan Francine Coyon. Delicately handcrafted and complete with a tiny swinging perched bird (a lovebird or small parrot) inside, this piece brings old-world luxury to any miniature interior. The rectangular European style birdcage features beautifully detailed openwork trim across the crown, decorative finials at each corner, and slender vertical bars . Small hanging hooks at the top allow the cage to be suspended. It is finished with a subtle aged patina that mimics antique brass or oxidized metal.
Perfect for hanging in a sunroom, placed beside a window in a Victorian parlor, or incorporated into an enchanting miniature scene.

A Note About Value
Every miniature we offer has been carefully evaluated for its craftsmanship, rarity, condition, provenance, and collectibility. Many of the artisan pieces we sell are one-of-a-kind works that may never appear on the market again. While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.
Our pricing reflects the miniature's place within today's collector market and the years we've spent studying the artists, histories, and values that make these tiny works of art so special.
A Commitment to Research
Every miniature has a story, and uncovering it is one of our greatest passions. We carefully research each piece, but unsigned or illegible works can remain mysteries. If you can identify an artist or provide additional information, we'd be delighted to hear from you and will gladly update the listing to preserve their legacy.
