BONTEMS SINGING BIRD IN FLOWERPOT MUSIC BOX. The Bontems family, of France, began producing decorative mechanical singing birds, starting with Blaise Bontems in the 1840’s, and growing into a large family enterprise headquartered in Paris. Besides singing bird boxes and cages, Bontems produced other fanciful adaptations, such as pistols and glass-domed trees with animated birds singing in the branches and seemingly flying too and fro. All of these were meant to decorate the exquisite homes of their wealthy clientele. Which brings us to this fabulous item, a “Singing Bird in Flowerpot” (oiseau chanteur sur cache-pot’). We refer you to the full-page display on page 300 of the “Bible” of this subject, Christian Bailly’s “Flights of Fancy”. As you can see, the “flower pot” is a fine Sevres porcelain vase, inside of which the mechanism is concealed. The bird itself sits on a perch atop the display of silk flowers. Take a look, and listen. You will be hard pressed to find a nicer example anywhere; to begin with these are very desirable and rarely come up for sale, especially in this condition. We acquired it from the personal collection of our restorer, who kept it until until his passing last year.

This is a genuine antique, not a reproduction! ANTIQUE SINGING BIRD IN JARDINIERE. This singing bird in jardiniere is a fantastic rarity from the workshops of Bontems, Paris, France, c. A similar example is shown in Christian Baillys authoritative reference book, Flights of Fancy, on page 300. The mechanical singing bird sits on a perch, atop a garden of dried flowers. When activated, the bird animates and sings his happy tune. His head turns, tail flaps, etc. Dimensions overall are about 21 high, the vase is 10 diameter and the bird about 5 long from beak to tail. The jardiniere is housed in an original porcelain French vase of the period. This was a unique Bontems creation that is a small miracle to have survived intact to this day, surviving world wars and other disturbances. We have had this professionally serviced and restored.
