    Hoping someone can tell me what this is. It is wood, stands 11 3/4" tall and is 10 1/2" deep on the inside. Pomegranate's and birds.

    Could be a hat stand?

    Does this parfumier have a purpose other than being pretty? I don't remember ever seeing one before and I couldn't find what they were used for when I tried to look it up. Thanks in advance.

    I would think it’s an incense holder.

    I neglected to give a measurement across the top. I have been busy with everyone else's stuff. :dead: I measures 4 7/8" across the top.

    I'm skeptical of incense or parfumier based on height and width with all those holes. Hat stands are usually ceramic, I know, but the size and holes look more appropriate to that use than to the other suggestions.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    You could also put dried flowers in it. That's probably not its intended use, though.
