Our designer is a huge fan of Tony Duquette, and occasionally will use him as an inspiration when designing her own pieces. If you are unfamiliar with the work of Mr. Duquette, and are interested in learning more about his amazing and unique style, I suggest you purchase the above book, Tony Duquette, by Wendy Goodman and Hutton Wilkinson.
Here is one of our Sunburst mirrors, which the designer decorated using mother-of-pearl abalone flakes in the style of Mr. Duquette. The designer loves working with abalone, and would have loved the opportunity to watch Mr. Duquette work his magic.
In 2007 Bergdorf Goodman designed one of their legendary Christmas/Holiday windows as a homage to Tony Duquette, and it was absolutely spectacular. This photo doesn't show any abalone, but if you look close enough, you are sure to see a shell or two!
