I had the same thoughts as Ham. When I first noticed this piece I was thinking it might be a late 19th, early 20th century Bazaar piece made up from spare parts lying around. People were not as wasteful back in those days and I am sure an enterprising person would not let a bunch of spare pieces lying around go to waste. As Ariel has pointed out, a lot of different styles in this one piece.
