Hand assembled 250 mechanical pieces speaks to the mechanical expertise of constructing this magnificentpiece of musical artwork. But, the totality of the artistry of the bird song, their movement and construction, using real bird feathers, in an exquisitely designed cage makes this a unique, heirloom piece to cherish for years to come.
The songs of th...e two birds sound amazingly realistic and their automaton movement is a sweet duet.From the Reuge website "Any home will be richer with the presence of two charming birds that will sing at your command." - Truly!
There are two options to play: 14 minutes of intermittent bird song or 2 minutes of continuous song.The rhodium plated (with some discoloration- please view the photos) cage is lined with gold velvet, 11" tall x 6 3/8" wide.
Serial #11674.
The bluebird and yellow finch perch on branches surrounded by fabric flowers and leaves.All is in excellent condition, with full song and both birds move beautifully. If you want to hear their duet, go to our Instagram page, Buy and Consign Waltham and scroll down.
If a new one from Reuge at $7990 is more than you want to spend, this beautifully maintained previously owned one may be just right for you.
