I am trying to figure out what this piece is, inherited from my father. At one time, I think I remember someone saying it was a hat frame. It was picked up in Connecticut, I believe. Definitely an antique. Can someone please tell me what this is? I love the piece, and would like to research the history of such a form but having a hard time knowing where to start!
