Hi
I would think that it is made in the Middle East (could be WW1 or 2) as it is very similar to items that I've seen before. Some have "MADE IN PALESTINE" on a small tab with an optional "SILVER" stamp.
They are made of fine silver wire which I believe was twisted up by young boys (this from a ex-jeweller who served in Egypt and took a keen interest in the making of these items).
They were soldered using a mix of borax and silver filings but are NOTORIOUSLY hard to repair as they are SO fine!
