Details

This elegant pedestal kaleidoscope features a sleek, high-polish chrome body mounted on a walnut and chrome stand. The base features a distinctive openwork "lattice" design that catches the light and adds a modern architectural touch to the piece.

The true magic lies in the Double-Wheel Object Cell. Unlike standard scopes, this piece utilizes two independent spinning wheels crafted from soldered stained glass and dichroic textures. When you spin the wheels in opposite directions, the resulting image is a complex, breathing mandala that shifts and evolves with mesmerizing depth.

The 2-mirror system inside creates a perfect, vibrant image that is crisp from edge to edge.

Dimensions approximate

4" width x 9.8" height x 8" depth

Materials

Chrome-plated Brass & Walnut Wood, Double Stained Glass Wheels (Dichroic & Textured), 2-Mirror (Mandala)

Care and Use

Optical Safety: NEVER place a kaleidoscope in direct sunlight. The lenses and mirrors can concentrate light like a magnifying glass, creating a serious fire hazard.

Cleaning: Dust the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. To clean the viewing lens or object cell glass, use a clean microfiber cloth (like those used for eyeglasses).

Avoid Liquids: Do not use water, sprays, or chemical cleaners on the body. Moisture can damage the delicate solder lines on the stained glass scopes and tarnish the chrome on the Chesnik scope.

Handling: Always lift by the body or base, never by the object cell or spinning wheels.
