John W. Mills (1933-2023) Bronze Mounted Triangular Plaque

About the Item

A reclaimed patinated bronze plaque depicting a lion's mask on a triangular mount by the acclaimed British sculptor, John W. Mills. Direct from the artists estate, this bronze is mounted on a rectangular wooden base, making it perfect for decorative display in an interior, perhaps on a desk or coffee table. This sculpture is thought to be inspired by Mills' ‘Museum Lion’ series exhibited at the V&A museum. The sculpture is unsigned. John W. Mills (1933-2023) John Mills was a highly celebrated English sculptor, celebrated across the globe for his contemporary statues, bronze figures and artistic maquettes. Mills showcased a flair for sculpture from a young age, first exhibiting at the Royal Academy of Arts in 1951 and then hosting his first one-man show at the AIA Gallery, London in 1959. Throughout his distinguished career, Mills went on to received several prizes and accolades and many notable commissions. Some of his most famous works include the monumental memorial to The Woman of World War II in Whitehall, London and the National Firefighters Memorial near St. Paul’s Cathedral, London. Following the sculptor’s passing in 2023, the contents of John W. Mill’s creative studio at his family home in Hinxworth Place, Hertfordshire were dispersed. This sculpture formed part of this curated collection, from which we selected several pieces, offering a rare chance to obtain original works made by the artist, including sculptural pieces for garden, interior and exhibition.
