When powered, the interior scene emits the warm orange-red glow that made Aerolux lamps famous. The bulb is housed in its original composite wood tabletop display stand with Art Deco styling.

Religious Aerolux lamps are among the more desirable examples produced by the company, combining devotional imagery with early neon glow lamp technology. This example retains its original display base and remains a striking decorative piece whether displayed lit or unlit.

The bulb is marked "Aerolux New York" and remains in working condition. I tested the bulb in a separate socket and it illuminates properly. The display base appears to have been wired for use at one time but is now in need of rewiring.
