This is a traditional birdcage purchased around 1997 in Xi'an, China, but it was unfortunately damaged during transport. It is carefully woven using thin bamboo strips, with wooden decorations and metal hanging hardware on the top. Small wooden carvings are placed between the bars, and the overall design evokes a sense of ancient Chinese aesthetics. It also comes with porcelain cups for water and food. These are small blue-and-white porcelain cups, a style often used in bird culture in Asia, such as China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. The "ring-like handles" on the sides are designed to have a "rod" or "metal hook" passed through them and attached to the wooden frame inside the birdcage. The small size is suitable for traditional bamboo cages for birds like Java sparrows, Bengalese finches, canaries, and small parakeets. There is evidence of aging, and some parts are damaged from the trip (broken bamboo, detached pieces, warping, etc.). Therefore, it is currently recommended for display or as a repair material. Materials: Bamboo, wood, metal Condition: Damaged, with age-related soiling (not usable) Place of purchase: China Purchase date: Around 1997 There are no noticeable stains or tears overall, but it is dusty. ● There are no smokers or pets. ※ Please examine the photos carefully as there may be individual differences in the assessment of scratches and stains. #Birdcage #Antique #ChineseAntique #BambooCraft #OldTools #Vintage #RetroInterior #ChineseGoods #Antique #FolkCrafts
