For long distances while staying in his living room
This was only the third in twenty years of his career, when he saw, Pascal Lemoine, a birdcage of the Louis XV period in iron and copper pushed back. A parade cage, a castle room. Often the ghastly spirits do not like bird cages. At best they tell you about the little beings who would be locked in, at worst, Titi and Gros Minet ... They do not perceive that the door is distinguished from the door of a prison by its function of exchange, Of link, of passage. Between the earth and the air, between the human and the volatile, between the near and far. Possessing a bird cage when one is a contemporary of Louis XV, is to offer the most beautiful jewel case to these noble representatives embellished with the new insular and continental worlds, whether they are small canaries or proud parrots. This one, proposed by La Maison du Roy, gives an account of the importance which the aristocracy, which was not bothered by thrushes or blackbirds, bore its antipodes to its finches. The bird cage is distinguished by its lower border, symbolizing a garden with its small columns. Its underside is richly worked in repoussé-chiselled, testifying to the particular clientele of this piece of brassware. The ring at its lower end usually served to hang a knot of red velvet. The iron grid is in perfect working order, but you can just as well, and if you wish, leave it always open.
