    I purchased it here in the US. Here is a closeup of one of the gold wrapped threads.

    It was from a estate sell around 10 years ago. I dont know much more about it. But I believe this person traveled all over collecting antiques

    The Cora Ginsburg Company in NYC is a trusted place to have this assessed. Titi Hale has taken over the business after Cora's death and the staff should be able to help you identify this piece. https://www.coraginsburg.com/contact.html. Please let us know what they say?

    Am I the only one that thinks it has an oddly Art Deco feel about it? (Or Art Nouveau? I always get the two confused.)

    (Very) simply... Art Nouveau = lots of wavy lines. Art Deco = lots of straight lines.
