Featured Please help I am not sure what this is

Parents home we were cleaning it to sell it's beautiful but I don't know what it is

 

Interesting table, Patricia. You have it in its correct, against the wall, location. Probably sat beneath a "pier mirror."

 

Very nicely made, Patricia. It is often called a demi-lune, a half moon shaped hallway table. Although the moon has an odd shape in this case.

 

Given the shoes - 1940's?

The rest of her costume is identifiable piece by piece, but not in its totality. Methinks she is part Elizabethan.

 

Right next to me is a wall socket for my TV. It's on its side, which drives me crazy! (- = sort of)

 

don't sell that....keep that !!!

 

Looks like a late 20th century console (or demi-lune, as mentioned above) table, correctly abutting the wall as it was intended to do. SE Asian, as so much of what we see here turns out to be. The woman's costume is......remarkable. Otherwise, it's patterned after a mid-19th century Victorian console table.

 

Eccentric girl, she seems to be a cape-winged pilot, wearing Renaissance men's pants and a Mata Hari style bra:

 

Your right, this one I won't sell. we sold parents house and this is one of the pieces I kept but never could figure out what she was, but you're right I love her

 

It is a quality table. The girl could have been well-known at the time the table was made. She is also wearing high heels. Maybe from a Busby Berkeley movie?

@Figtree3 do you have info about Busby Berkeley girls or similar girls, or is that too recent for you? Does this girl's outfit ring a bell?

 

Think the table is later.

Liking that clock!

 

I LOVE THE CLOCK!!!!!!!

 

Hi,
That lady on the consul table looks right out of a Flash Gordon movie. Many of you will not know what I am talking about. I think he was the first movie Star Trek type.

Looks like a fantasy mishmash of Mata Hari and a showgirl to me. That's all I've really got. I love old movies and that includes Busby Berkeley stuff, but this doesn't strike me as an accurate sculpture. What would be the purpose of an accurate figure of a showgirl on a piece of wooden furniture?

If we had more detail perhaps more furniture experts would be able to tell something. I am not one of them.

If it is indeed patterned after a Victorian piece, as somebody mentioned above, the woman looks even more out of place.

I do like unusual things, though, and it is interesting from that perspective!

And thanks for the tag, AJ!

 

We need to see how the legs are attached to the top.
It doesn't quite look right for Victorian.

 

Yep, i am goin with Ghopper on this one, an Indo piece that got out of control
