<p>[QUOTE="Darkwing Manor, post: 4498984, member: 738"]It looks to me like a contemporary shabby chic decor item, one you would find in a surplus housewares store, such as TJ Maxx. There was a trend a few years back for "semi-steampunk faux French antique mannequin or automaton"- type assemblages. I realize that is an awkward description, I'm sure there is a better decorators' term for it. I could not find a close example but here is something in the same genre. A gift from my sister, origin unknown, but not old. She holds my gold-tone necklaces. I put different hats on her seasonally so she doesn't look so ill.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]393514[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
