Excellent Form, Excellent Paint: c. 1920s-40s Scratch Made Wooden Stables bat velvety red orchid-like bloom looking

velvety red orchid-like bloom looking poised to swallow that butterfly

including for the way the two shiny silver metal plates frame either side of the recessed tree-like form's "trunk"

with minor edge wear

I think this is an old bocce/boules ball

Excellent Form, Excellent Paint: c. 1920s-40s Scratch Made Wooden Stables bat velvety red orchid-like bloom lookingI love the lines in this one, and the paint on it too really quite an elegant structure in its way, as well as a humble, lovingly constructed one. With thin wooden crosses in each of the windows backed by clear film that film gone from the center window on one side but otherwise pretty well in tact. I'd like to see this one on a clean white shelf in a spare room though of course I'd also love to see it filled with horses!:) 12 1 4" l x 4 1 2" d x 5 1
