Can Anyone Identify This?

Can Anyone Identify This?
A friend of mine has this in her spare bedroom. However, she doesn't know what it is or its purpose. We don't even know if it is related to sewing. Does anyone have any ideas? Any help we can get will be appreciated.

I think what you would do with a frame like this is thumb-tack fabric leaders to the top of the frame. You would then hand baste tapestry canvas to the leaders. Alternatively, you could tack the canvas directly to the frame. This website shows how to do the latter, but that would probably be more appropriate for a cheaper, throw-away type frame:
