Ron,

I made a lamp version of this for my son about 2 years ago. I found plans for the lamp in one of the WW magazines. I could find which one for anyone that wants to know.

From what I found this type of stand was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright to display his collection of Japanese block art. I was unable to find any pictures of stands he actually used. If I remember correctly the lamp was inspired by FLW's print stand.

Picture's of the on I made:
