Anthony Redmile Shell Mirror
Anthony Redmile (1938-2016)
English, circa 1970-1980
Height: 142cm Width: 97cm Depth: 10cm
A remarkable and highly decorative mirror, the rectangular frame entirely encrusted with an intricate assemblage of natural shells, polished stones and semiprecious minerals including abalone and amethyst. The richly textured surface and rhythmic, symmetrical composition reflect Redmile's fascination with natural materials and his bold approach to design.
Anthony Redmile emerged in 1970s London as a distinctive voice in interior decoration, gaining recognition for his transformation of organic and exotic materials into glamorous statement pieces. His work quickly attracted a fashionable international following, including celebrity clients, aristocrats and members of the British Royal Family.
This unusually signed example likely dates from the earlier years of Redmile's career, before the expansion of his workshop, when pieces were often created by the designer himself. A rare and visually compelling object that captures the energy and imagination of 1970s design.
