Charming Old Dome Shaped Wirework Birdcage carved decoy including receiving letters from FranklinI just love the dome shape to this bird cage, evoking a bee skep as much as a home for a canary and of course I love the bird perched atop it. It's also quite nice how the wirework dome unlocks from the base to lift off, making it easy to stage all sorts of arrangements and scenarios inside. Once locked back in place, the bird on top makes a good handle for carrying it around. Some loss to the old creamy white paint, but lots of charm. 14 1 4" t x 7 1
