Have seen similar metal work art over the past 25 years...don't believe it is vintage!

They are still popular...especiall y for people without green thumbs!

The twists look soldered , somewhat resemble wire-work from that mobile-inventor fella (not his work ,  though!) , perhaps 1950's ...?

Sugar how big is this piece? Looks to be a place card holder used for table seating possibly at a wedding.

hi wendy so nice to see you

it is 11 inches tall, I took more pics of it this am and of course I have a problem with my camera....it has a heavy cast iron base to it for its size, and in the back the pieces are wired onto it.  If I figure this glitch I'll post later

Wendy I agree with you. To me it looked like a photo holder that is in common use today.
