This special piece comes from the island of Lombok in Indonesia and was made in wood by local artisans sometimes at the end of the 1800's.

In the area traps like this have been used for centuries to capture small song birds, loved for their voices and as status symbols. In fact, they’re the most popular pets in Indonesia and a saying goes: “A man is only considered a real man if he has a house, a wife, a horse, a dagger and a bird”.  Birds are believed to be sacred connections between the earth and the sky, bonding the human and spiritual world, bringing enlightenment, hope, and wisdom. 

The bird trap has visible signs of the beautiful aging of the wood and comes complete on a black metal stand and its story printed out for you inside a beautiful envelope. The handmade metal support carry its own authenticity, with subtle imperfections and the potential for a natural patina to emerge over time.

 Dimensions with the metal support: 42 x 28 x 20cm
