A grand birdcage that keeps bottles and treasures instead of birds, standing as tall as the doorway.
Brindisi is a display shelf built as a full height birdcage, his cream iron frame rising through tiers of round timber shelves to a domed crown with a finial. A studded fir timber band circles his shoulders, and a small drawer waits at his base above turned feet.
At 176cm tall he is a genuine statement piece, a wine tower in a dining corner, a curiosity cabinet in a hallway, or the most charming plant stand a sunroom ever had.
Why we love it
◆The silhouette, a full height birdcage with dome, finial, and turned feet
◆The shelves, round timber tiers that turn everything on them into a display
◆The timber band, studded fir circling the shoulders like a crown setting
◆The drawer, one small secret at the base for corkscrews and matches

How to style it
Brindisi turns whatever he holds into an exhibition.
Stack him with wine, glasses, and a corkscrew in the drawer
Fill the tiers with trailing plants for an indoor aviary of greenery
Curate his shelves from our home accents collection
Stand him beside pieces from our furniture collection in a reading corner
Stylist's TipLeave one shelf nearly empty, a single bottle or one small jug. The bars frame whatever sits inside, and a little air between treasures is what makes him read as a cabinet of curiosities rather than storage.
Care & Keeping
Dust with a soft dry cloth along the bars and shelves. Keep him indoors and dry, wipe any spills from the timber promptly, and the aged cream will wear exactly as slowly as it should.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is he made of?
Brindisi is an iron frame in aged cream with fir timber shelves, the studded timber band at his shoulders, and a timber drawer at the base.
What fits on the shelves?
Bottles, glasses, plants, jugs, and small treasures. He is a display piece rather than a bookcase, so keep the load decorative and spread it across the tiers.
Is the worn paint intentional?
Yes, the cream is aged by hand with rubs and shadows throughout, so he arrives looking like he has lived a few good decades in a French conservatory.
Does he need fixing to the wall?
He stands freely on his turned feet on a flat floor. In homes with little climbers we always suggest an anti tip strap to the wall, as with any tall piece.
Will mine look exactly like the photos?
Very close. The aged cream is worked by hand, so where the finish rubs back varies from piece to piece, which is part of the intended character.
Because Brindisi is hand-finished, slight variations in patina, texture, and grain are natural and add to the unique character of each piece. Colour may also vary slightly between screens, all photography is taken in natural light.

I have never been a clock-watcher, but all that changed with Maude. I can't stop looking at her. Out of the box, slip in an AA battery and on to the wall, just like that! She is simply gorgeous.
This is a present for my horse loving daughter in law. I'm sure it will take pride of place on her mantle piece. Again I love this Web site which I will be visiting often.
Found this beautiful elegant Swan for my garden online via a search at Chateau Living. A great price, quality and excellent ordering and delivery. Would definitely purchase from this business again. They have such a beautiful variety of products.
It was my testing the waters first purchase to check out this new store & what’s on offer. I loved the idea of supplying cast iron cute animal figurines as they’re practical, good looking, solid durable material, great rust finish (no need to buy expensive rust effect paint). Just ready to weather and brings a smile on your dial. I placed my frog with his hands up as if in religious praying gesture next to the concrete funny sign scored at Vinnies reading: grant me patience Lord but hurry - I believe the praying frog and the sign go comically together. I’m thinking of getting the other frog too in its hilarious pose possibly in green patina for contrast. I can confirm it’s heavy cast iron with attractive rust patina. These casts fill the gap in the market dominated by laser cut cortina steel offerings. Just something old school different and complimentary to your garden /house decor. Pleased it’s introduced to Australian market and once for change not made in China… but in France known for its cast iron tradition. We own 18th century French anvil won at an antique auction which is our proud possession so happy to score more in heavy casts.
This may not show on the store website that well but they’re actually old gold colour. It’s lightweight thin metal so perhaps inside or sheltered outdoor space would suit them the best as it may rust out & some fragile parts of the tail break exposed to the weather. They’re as large as described, cleverly designed for packaging - legs are separate with tightening screw. They make an impact due to their size & fit almost any decor with the colour & style.
I was so happy with Chateau Living. Brilliant customer service & speedy delivery. How lucky we are to have an Australian option giving us all these beautiful items for our homes. Highly recommend
I bought this piece as I could see it in my mind's eye having an suspended impact with my high end Brazilian quartz crystal display. Such a well made piece, sturdy and if I didn't know better, from another time. I am planning a candle holder from Chateau Living to complete this display, just having trouble deciding from the elegant range they have available. Very pleased :) Who would have thought you could combine Brazil with French Provincial so perfectly.
