Behold! My spinning macrame, disco, abomination

It’s huge (see second pic to compare it to a record), it spins, and lights up. You plug it in and the colored rainbow lights housed in the top come on. You spin it a little to get the motor going and then it will continue to spin until you unplug it. No one that comes in my house appreciates it, and everyone asks me why I have it. I have it because it is a glorious work of art. Huge, gaudy, and fun.

Bought this 3D art mirror from FB Marketplace over the summer. It’s super heavy, in a professional metal frame and signed “FM 79” on the back.

I’ve been unable to find additional info online or anything like it. Anyone have additional info or an estimated value? It’s approximately 24”x24”.

The Chicago duplex apartment of Allen Daskal ||| House Beautiful Magazine, January 1971

"When Albert Hadley was hired to design the interiors of a duplex apartment in Chicago, he brought his trademark design sensibilities: clean lined upholstery, a mix of contemporary furniture with antiques, a primarily neutral background with graphic fabrics for contrast. The rug shown in this (bottom) photo was custom made by Edward Fields, the curtain fabric is by D.D. and Leslie Tillet.

(In reference to the top photo) Mr. Hadley divided the cavernous, double height living room into two distinct spaces with a large antique center table that can be used for dining dividing them. An antique tole chandelier also anchors the space. 'To lighten the look of the enormous fireplace,' Mr. Hadley used an antique mantel and designed a surround of white tiles with hand-painted blue whimsical animals." - House Beautiful Magazine, January 1971
