1988 Rare Judy Beals 4 Tier Birdcage & 4 birds by Barbara Ann Meyer 5 Finial Top

  

It is signed Judy Beals 1988 #6 & it looks better in person than these photos show. It has four graduated square box tiers & is made of wood with brass bars, having turned legs & turned spire finials on top.

It has a working door & is an extremely delicate & rare piece, perhaps I should even call it a miniature masterpiece. I've seen many Krupick birdcages but have never seen another of these come up for sale. Inside are four perches, three attached to one piece of brass wire & able to be lifted out by pulling the lid off the top (carefully). At bottom is a larger perch which is wooden & attached on the bars on either side.

Glued onto every perch is a gorgeous bird handmade by artisan Barbara Ann Meyer, four in all. She sculpts her miniature birds, then reproduces them in metal, then hand paints each one very skillfully. At bottom, there is I believe, a turtle dove, above that a slightly smaller red-breasted robin, & above that a chickadee, & above that the smallest bird is one I don't recall the name of (sorry).

The birdcage measures 5 & 5/16" tall to the top of the middle spire & is 1 & 3/8" wide. CONDITION- There is no visible damage or issues other than being vintage & used. All appears to be good & intact. This is a handmade piece & the finials are not all identical in shape or length so please take note of that.

The bird perches are not perfectly parallel to one another & the whole thing tilts slightly to right from the front & more to the left from the back. You would display it from the front so his doesn't matter & is not damage, just how it was made.

I say things like this whenever fragile parts are included. I will, of course, do whatever I can to help if this unexpected event were to happen.
