Glamour Crystal-Encrusted Kaleidoscope
Inspired by the beauty of the parakeet, this kaleidoscope is handmade by Massimo in his New York studio using brass parts initially intended for chandeliers, exclusively for Uno Alla Volta. The kaleidoscope features a variegated onyx sphere and a three-mirror isosceles triangle optic enhanced by a magnifying lens to ensure proper focusing. The colorful parakeet viewed through the kaleidoscope lens is encrusted with crystals and mounted on a music box mechanism that will turn backward, playing the tune ''Hello Dolly''. Attached to the pedestal is a crystal-encrusted flashlight that creates beautiful sparkles to be viewed inside the kaleidoscope when pointed at the crystals. The piece is finished with three beeswax coatings and is marked with the name and the edition serial number. Limited edition of 26. 14'' x 5'' x 18''.
