It could be European, it also could be American as well.

During the third and fourth quarter of the 19th century, German motifs were used with a lot of decorative objects, a holdover from the mid 19th century's Renaissance Revival.

That may well be Shakethetrees, and we certainly had a lot of Germans in the North East of the United States especially in and around Pennsylvania and Maryland. But, I've seldom seen anything like this at antique shops or shows on this side of the pond.
