"Today, the passion for birdcages continues unabated, and collectors amass them by the dozen to create memorable interior vignette. The Birdcage Book culls international designs from every significant design era - including twentieth-century reproductions of enduring styles - and presents them in one lavish portfolio. Author Leslie Garisto, herself an inveterate collector, lovingly describes a wide variety of birdcage styles, blending charming historical anecdotes with serious advice about collecting. More than 75 photographs attest to the extraordinary range of styles, and interviews throughout with antique dealers and collectors evoke the passion for collecting."
