You might get a magnifying glass and look carefully for tiny hidden breaks in the wood where shot of some sort could be inserted and hidden within the finish !!  People that created these were very good and some say that they had OCD which is why some of the shapes and carvings are very repetitive !!

Now that I look at it, those decorative "spurs" have an Eastlake look. 1890s.

Maybe I missed the size if it was given, but to me this looks similar to a whimsy intended to be built in a bottle.
