FOR SALE IS A GENUINE ANTIQUE CRICKET CAGE. MADE FROM BRONZE WITH TRACES OF SILVERING ON BASE , 160 mm LONG 118 mm WIDE 126mm HIGH WITH HANDLE AND WEIGHING IN AT 900 GRAMS. IT HAS HAND INGRAVING WITH BLACK INLAY ON ALL SIDES AND THE HANDLE , OF A GROUP OF LADIES AND A NOBLEMAN. THE AUCTION HOUSE I SHOWED IT TO , SAID IT IS LATE 19TH CENTURY BUT I THINK IT COULD A LITTLE OLDER. IT CAME FROM A PRIVATE COLLECTOR WHO HAD OWNED THE ITEM FOR SOME TIME AND I AM 100 % SURE ITS NOT A MODERN REPRODUCTION . AS FOR CONDITION IT HAS A VERY SMALL KNOCK ON ONE SIDE (SEE PHOTO) . OTHERWISE IT IS IN VERY GOOD ORIGINAL UNCLEANED CONDITION, AND WOULD CLEAN UP A LOT BETTER IF NEEDED.
THE INLAY IS VERY DETAILED ON THIS ITEM , BETTER THAN ANY THING ELSE I HAVE SEEN ON EBAY OR THE WEB GENERALY , A VERY FINE ITEM. NOT EASY TO FIND GOOD ASIAN ITEMS, WITH THE MARKET BEING SO STRONG.
