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.

Masterpiece Contemporary Australian Blown and Carved Glass Sculpture Vase
By Ben Edols & Kathy Elliott
Located in Surfside, FL
Provenance: Part of an important collection that had work Both Benjamin Edols and Kathy Elliott were born in Sydney. The two began working together as recent graduates from the Canberra School of Art. Ben also studied at the Royal College of Arts in Sydney.
The first exhibition of their collaborative work was in 1993. Since that time they have developed a body of work of blown and cold worked glass vessels and forms. Ben specialises in glassblowing and Kathy specialises in cold working techniques such as carving and engraving.
In 2000 they built their own glassblowing and cold working studio in Sydney. In recent years, their work has been inspired by the botanical forms and patterns found in nature. One of the qualities of glass that they most appreciate is its ability to carry light.
They have taught in Australia, America and Japan. Their work has been exhibited widely and is held in many public museums and private collections around the world including the Victoria and Albert Museum, the American Craft Museum, the National Gallery of Australia and the Auckland War Memorial Museum.
