I'm revising my reply - it's a textile holder - just like in a modern store that sells bolts of cloth - it's to display fabric - the center would hold the cloth on it - the two outer pieces to hold it upright.
They didn't have cardboard so they used wood.
It's an older style hoop for tatting, lace, etc.
I think it’s a embroidery or sampler lap frame....but that’s only a guess. I think I remember seeing one like it a long time ago.
How big is it, and if you turn it up the other way does it have holes drilled into the curved parts? If it does, and if it's large enough, my guess is it's the base of a rocking chair.
The tiles look like standard one square foot ceramic... So that would be a tiny rocking chair lol
@Cutiebeauty But with nothing to give a sense of scale, we can't be sure of that - tiles come in a variety of sizes, after all. As do rocking chairs.
Nice pic lol but that's what I said, a tiny rocking chair.... @Jnei
A worthless piece of crap made (most likely)out of wood designed as a wall hanger. Call up Rick Harrison! lol
