AN ANTHONY REDMILE “BLOND” TURTLE SHELL LAMP, WITH JAMES BOND 007 INTEREST.
A late 19th/early 20th century Giant South American River Turtle Blonde Shell (Podocnemis expansa), later mounted on a silver plated stand as a side lamp by the renowned designer Anthony Redmile. This particular lamp has a very interesting pedigree. Not only was it made by Redmile but it also featured in the 1974 James Bond film: Man With The Golden Gun, based on the novel by Ian Fleming and starring Roger Moore, Christopher Lee, Herve’ Villechaize, amongst many others. The scene featuring this lamp in Scaramanga’s house (the villain of the film) can be seen in the second image. (h 113cm x w 53cm x d 19cm)
