Pair of Seashell Encrusted Chairs by J. Antony Redmile, around 1970

About the Item

Evoking a whimsical, nautical fantasy, this pair of seashell-encrusted chairs by J. Antony Redmile, crafted in the United Kingdom around 1970, represent the pinnacle of decorative art. Every surface is meticulously covered in a breathtaking mosaic of shells, sourced from exotic locations around the globe. The chairs' forms, likely of sturdy wood construction beneath the intricate shell veneer, offer a comfortable seat amidst the spectacle. These chairs are more than mere furniture; they are sculptures, conversation pieces, and tangible links to the ocean's mysterious allure. Redmile's signature style is evident in the lavish application and careful selection of shells, transforming ordinary objects into extraordinary works of art. These chairs are a testament to the designer's unique vision and mastery of the decorative arts. A unique piece which is a great eye-catcher for your antique, modern, space age or mid-century interior. If you have any more questions we are very happy to help and send you more details, photos, videos, a shipping quote or information. All pieces are looked after in our own restoration workshop.
