Birdcages through the Ages

Friday, May 29, 2009

Interiorinstyle have researched the history of birdcages through the ages. Four thousand year old hieroglyphics of the ancient Egyptians depict doves and parrots in birdcages. Chinese art shows beautiful birds in elaborate cages. Ancient Roman mosaics show scenes of birds in cages. The Victorians kept exotic birds from far away places. They chose decorative cages which became important ornamentation within the Victorian parlor.

Throughout history, keeping birds has been a pastime of the wealthy. While on a recent trip to India, Lyn from interiorinstyle was delighted to see birdcages hanging in the City Palace Museum of Udaipur. Udaipur is a beautiful city in Rajasthan, with marble palaces and lakes surrounded by a ring of hills. Picture the Maharini and her ladies enjoying a peaceful afternoon chatting in the courtyard as the birds twittered in their cages.

Interested in decorating with interiorinstyle Birdcages? Birdcages have been an easy choice for many happy interiorinstyle customers. These beautiful decal kits quickly became best sellers. The Birdcages Room Art kits come in four colourways; black, silver, red and white. Arrange the stickers on a feature wall to give eye-catching appeal.
