A wonderfully curious and poetic object — a vintage French cricket cage, or *cage à grillon*, the kind of charming domestic curiosity that once sat on a French windowsill or hearth, housing a live cricket whose song was considered good luck and a pleasant accompaniment to an evening at home. A tradition with roots stretching back centuries across both French and Asian cultures, these little cages were made with real care and attention. Display it on a shelf, a mantle, or under a glass cloche as a piece of folk art and natural history in one — empty, it is still completely captivating. Sourced from a brocante in Marseille.
dimensions: 2.5"W x 2.5"D x 2.75"H
