Fantastic Finely Carved Architectural Antique Whimsy Tower antique turned wood cup with no loss of layersI 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!
