Motion Table with 4 different pictures. We found this at a Nashville estate sale. It was in it’s original box but the box was very torn so we have not included the box with it.

The lamp is 11″ in height and about 10″ across and is open on both ends. Inside the smoke gray lucite is a stylized tree sculpture in clear lucite. When it is inside the box, underneath a light wheel turns and changes the colors of the tree. Such a tremendously fabulous piece! There are a few minor scuffs from age and wear to the lucite case, but nothing major. The underside has two screws that hold the lucite to the base. Since it is such a dark smoke color, I didn’t notice until now that there is a crack on the bottom of the lucite from the screw to the outside edge. The very base is wooden I believe and black, so the crack doesn’t show at all, but I wanted to mention it and this rare piece is priced accordingly. The tree has one branch that appears to have a nick in the very end as well. Those two branches at the back were short, but the ends are smooth except for the tip on the one branch. I will try to add a photograph. The color of the tree are a yellow to a red. The tree sculpture was made, according to the original label underneath, by The Lights Fantastic. It measures about 7 1/4″ in height (to the point it fits into the base of the lamp) and 9″ across. Amazing and so very awesome!
