Possible Geographic Origin?

I can't provide much help on these particular items, but maybe someone else in the forum has some clues.  They appear to be ca. 1900 but I can't say much beyond that.

I'd wager that the telephone is Asian...circa 1990s?  The car key also might be Asian...maybe Honda?  

Did you notice the interesting table under the phone  ;) ?  Perhaps some time you can post these sort of questions as a contest (provided that you know the answer ahead of time).  My best guess here is American . . . the guy looks kind of Hawaiian to me (if not African, of course) . . . might fit in with the whole late 19th century empire building.   I wouldn't bet more than a nickle or two that my guess is correct though.  My follow-up guess would be English.  Very nice drapery details.

Yeah, the drapery was quite impressive carving to me as well.

The artistic stand table is in the Rococo Revival style with an ebonized "Blackamoor" figure with ivory inlays for the eyes and mouth that supports the piece. I too think this is more English looking, circa 1850, than American, and was probably a custom made piece. (as in something made for an exhibition or display) If I could have visited London's Crystal Palace Exhibition in 1851, this is exactly the kind of item I would expect to have seen there. A few American makers did make high end pieces in the Rococo style but the gadrooned border around the top looks typically English to my eyes. The two figures in the detached rectangular support pieces, I don't have much of a clue about origin or date.

Vintrest has it! :)
