Almost 3&#39;H x 4&#39;W, this is a statement. An original glossy b&w print of a (possibly haunted) farmhouse. Difficult to photograph because of reflections, but it is solid pitch black except for the house. Any textures in the black are reflections. Professionally matted and framed. Purchased at the Nathan Philips Art Show many years ago, the photographer&#39;s name escapes me. May be on the back of the photo.

Vintage Fisher Price A-Frame #990 COMPLETE+

Weihnachts Pyramide, complete. This 5 level, 6 sided behemoth has all its fan blades and candle holders, which disassemble for storage. It&#39;s commercially produced, although it doesn&#39;t say where it was made. On the bottom level are the wise men and donkeys circling some palm trees. The fourth level has the holy family in the centre being circled by shepherds. Then there are more shepherds, many little sheep and finally angels at the top. Much of the wood is varnished natural, with just a few bits of colour here and there. Really charming. When you light the candles, the rising heat should make the fan blades turn and then all the levels of figures go round. I think you&#39;d need some tall candles as 5 levels make this rather heavy.
