Singing Bird Boxes

Miniature treasures from around the world!

These miniature singing bird boxes have been produced by French, German and Swiss artisans for nearly two centuries, some having been special designs for European royalty, others housing cigarette cases, snuff compartments, etc.

They are technological marvels, with extremely intricate internal movements that produce the incredibly realistic sound of real singing birds, combined with the chirping and fluttering movements of a life-like mechanical bird clad in real feathers.

All are guaranteed to please and delight.

Double Singing Birds

We are pleased to offer this rare and unique item, comprising not one, but two, singing birds who rise from their nest and sing a song to each other. This type of singing bird box was made in extremely small quantities back in the 1800's, and there is one small workshop today who has produced a few, each unique and uncompromising in quality of workmanship and materials.

With silver case, gold adornments, enamels, etc., this is a treasure not to be seen again as there are no other artisans who have mastered the craft in modern times.
