| This floral Rose design, often referred to as the Mackintosh Rose, or Glasgow Rose, pays tribute to Glasgow architect, designer, watercolorist and textile designer, Charles Rennie Mackintosh. This Set of 3 Victorian Mackintosh Rose Antique Stained Glass Windows captures the strong right angles and the floral-inspired subtle curved decorative motifs that Mackintosh pioneered in the Arts and Crafts movement. Mackintosh took his inspiration from his Scottish upbringing and blended them with the flourish of Art Nouveau and the simplicity of Japanese forms; deliberately attempting to replace the more ornate styles with simple, classical lines, as exemplified in this design. This Mackintosh Bouquet of Roses with Blue Border Antique Stained Glass Window is quite unique. Two robust red and yellow Mackintosh roses with luscious green leafs seem to be sprouting up from an inverted clear and mauve colored vase while a lovely blue band crowns the floral design. Myriads of glass, including clear, Flemish and hammered, surround the bouquet and allow plenty of light to shine through. The glass just glistens! The Mackintosh Bouquet of Roses with Blue Border Antique Stained Glass Window is in the original wooden frame and measures approximately, 37.75 inches H X 29.75 inches W X 02.00 inches D, including the original wooden frame. This piece of architectural art is a by- product of urban renewal in Great Britain. Older buildings are being demolished or restored so the magnificent windows that once graced these homes are either being removed or replaced with newer more energy efficient windows. This vintage glass piece is in pristine condition, void of any chips or cracks, hand leaded with the lead complete, structurally sound, including the original wooden frame. |
