Description

It is equipped with two removable, external seed and water cups made of clear molded glass with a horizontal ribbed pattern. The cage is suspended by a coiled spring hook from a large, stylized quatrefoil metal frame. The frame is supported by a slender columnar pole terminating in a weighted, stepped circular base. The interior contains a naturalistic bird’s nest composed of dried grasses. The design is in the style of early 20th-century American manufacturers such as Hendryx. Height: Approximately 65 – 70 inches.
