Maybe made for an elaborate model train set up

as there is some text showing through the green paint on the back side

Victorian era I believe

with light general wear and some loss to the backing fabric just at the very center

Charming Old Dome Shaped Wirework Birdcage carved folk art bird Maybe made for an elaborateI 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
