THE BELLOWS IS RESTORED, PERFECTED, AND MADE STRONGER History of Singing Bird Automaton : Around 1780 in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, Jacquet- Droz manufacturers of complex clocks invented the mechanical singing bird movement. This movement imitated the motions of birds and reproduced it’s “birdsong” very authentically. It contained leather bellows and piston whistle assemblies. About 60 years later the bird movement was perfected by the Blaise Bontems workshop in Paris, France. Blaise Bontems (1814 – 1893) was a noted Parisian specialist in the manufacture of automaton singing birds and the first of a dynasty of automaton manufacturers, which included his son Charles Jules and his grandson Lucien. Bontems’ birds were famous for the realism of their song. In 1960 Reuge took over Bontems as well as Eschle’s production in Germany. The acquisition insured that the 200 year old tradition would be safeguarded. To this day Reuge continues the manufacture of singing birds, in the traditional manner. Birds are painstakingly feathered by hand and meticulously assembled, piece by piece. 100% SATISFACTION GUARANTEED – OVER 2000 FEEDBACK. Item must return in the same condition that we send.

Antique German Brass Singing Bird Cage Music Box Automaton Karl Griesbaum NR. Offered here is a beautiful antique German brass singing bird cage music box automaton, believed to have been manufactured in the late 19th century and attributed to the renowned workshop of Karl Griesbaum. These remarkable mechanical creations were handcrafted in Germany and are highly sought after for their intricate engineering and charming animated displays. Housed within an elegant brass birdcage, the feathered songbird is perched on a decorative branch adorned with foliage and berries. When activated, the internal mechanism causes the bird to animate and perform while accompanied by music. Pieces of this type were luxury novelty items of their era and remain prized by collectors of antique music boxes, automatons, and fine mechanical curiosities. This example was discovered at a local estate sale and remains in largely original, untouched condition. The winding key turns and the mechanism engages enough to produce slight movement from the bird, indicating that at least part of the mechanism is functioning (see video). However, the automaton is not fully operational, and because of the delicate and highly intricate nature of these antique movements, I have elected not to disassemble or attempt any repairs. It is being offered exactly as found so that the next owner or collector may decide whether to preserve, display, or professionally restore it. Cosmetically, the piece presents very well for its age. It retains a lovely antique patina with only expected signs of age and use. One small screw is missing from the base, and the bird appears to be missing a small feather or two around the crest/head area. The brass cage, decorative top finial, and overall structure remain attractive and display beautifully. Please carefully review all photos and the included video, as they are an important part of the description. Reasonable offers are always welcome! Antique estate-found example in very good display condition. Believed to date to the late 1800s and possibly attributable to Karl Griesbaum, Germany. Winding key turns and partially activates the mechanism; the bird exhibits slight movement. Music box/automaton is not fully functional and has not been serviced or repaired. One small screw is missing from the base. Bird appears to be missing a small feather or two on the head/crest. Brass surfaces retain an attractive original aged patina with light wear consistent with age. Interior fabric and decorative foliage show normal age-related wear.
