Antique Architectural Ball in Cage Whimsy brutalist pin otherwise clean and brightAnother lovely old whimsy as I can't resist these either. All carved from one piece of woo, this one has a great architectural form and scale to it, and a curious little mushroom top, with ring that slides a bit up and down. Perhaps there was once another little piece there, I'm not sure, but I think it's good just as it is. And those two well carved balls in the cage are quite satisfying. 9 15 16" t x 1 7 16" w x 1 5 16" d and in very good antique
