About the Item
Large late 20th Century shell encrusted grotto wall mirror in the style of Anthony Redmile of London.
A magnificent and exuberant mirror created from sea shells in all colours from white to pinks and browns and greys. A real masterpiece of art and craft that would be a statement piece in any interior.
The fascination with shells in design can be traced back to ancient civilisations. In primitive civilisations seashells were used as money, in ancient Egypt, they were considered sacred and symbolised rebirth and life. The Egyptians used them as offerings in religious ceremonies and as decorative elements in jewellery and artefacts. Similarly, in ancient Greece, shells were associated with the goddess of love and beauty, Aphrodite.
The shell motif found its way into various art forms, including architecture, sculpture, and painting during the Renaissance and Baroque periods. From elaborate shell-shaped grottos in palaces to shell-adorned ceilings in cathedrals, the motif became synonymous with opulence and luxury.
