VINTAGE INLAID WOOD AMERICAN ARTISAN MADE KALEIDOSCOPE SCULPTURE GENTLY USED

Description: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE VINTAGE INLAID WOOD AMERICAN ARTISAN MADE KALEIDOSCOPE SCULPTURE LIKE NEWHere we have a beautiful wooden Kaleidoscope that could double of a piece of sculpture; definitely a work of art. It is made of laminated and inlaid different colored pieces of wood. I am unsure of the maker but I am sure it its American made and created by a very skilled artisan craftsperson. There are what appear to me to be circular brass inserts in each end of the kaleidoscope. The large end is loosely filled with colored bits of what appear to me to be glass or plastic in some sort of liquid. When the kaleidoscope is held up to a bright light and you look through the viewing end and rotate the kaleidoscope there are a constantly changing, and endless number of patterns that appear. Very charming and beautiful. This piece has been in my personal collection since 1989. The piece in my photos is the actual piece you will receive. Please be sure to read the “Age and Condition” and “Approximate Dimensions” paragraphs below.I purchased this new in 1989, but am unsure of the maker. I can find no identifying marks on the kaleidoscope.I do my best to describe all items as accurately as possible and to the best of my ability.

The kaleidoscope looks to be basically in like new condition. Please look closely at my photos as they are an important part of my description of this item. It has always been displayed in my home, but I used this very infrequently and I see no damage or cracks in the wood. I will mention that the kaleidoscope display is not as colorful as the other ones I owned. I do not remember if it was this way when I bought it or not, but when I look through the viewing end, I only see the colors of red, orange, and a little yellow on a clear background. Everything is outlined in black and there are various shadings to the colors and to me it is still very attractive and interesting. Please keep in mind that the photos you are viewing can be blown up 5X or 10X larger than normal, so anything you see in these photos will be 5X or 10X larger than it really is.
