Fantastic Finely Carved Architectural Antique Whimsy Tower antique turned wood cup which suggests a postage stampI clearly love carved chains and balls in cages, but really get excited to find unusual whimsies like this one, which I think of as a sort of fantastical architectural tower, and which seems to reflect a very singular vision on the part of its maker. Quite some carving skills they had, and what a simultaneously whimsical and very lovely thing It would be really fun to display this on a lazy susan or motorized pedestal to spin round and round forever!
