Maitland Smith Fish Sculpture — Tessellated Coral Stone, 1980s

A striking decorative fish sculpture by Maitland Smith, crafted in tessellated coral stone — an elegant example of 1980s Hollywood Regency and eclectic postmodern design. The sculpture depicts a stylised angelfish, its surface composed of meticulously hand-laid pieces of coral stone that create a beautiful natural mosaic with subtle tonal variation. Brass details accent the piece — forming the fish's eye and the connector that mounts it to its matching coral-stone base. Mounted upright on its plinth, the sculpture has real presence and catches the light from every angle. A sophisticated, original accent that brings sculptural elegance to a console, shelf, mantelpiece, or desk. Condition: Beautiful original condition, consistent with age. Signed. Dimensions: H 50.5 cm; base 21 × 16 cm. Maker: Signed Maitland Smith.
