Red Mackintosh Glasgow Rose Heart Swag 2 Panel Antique Glass
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 Red Mackintosh Glasgow Rose Heart Swag 2 Panel Antique Glass Window 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 Red Mackintosh Glasgow Rose Heart Swag 2 Panel Antique Glass Window combines two glass panels with a goldenrod crested robust red rose. Luscious green petals morph into a heart design held in place by a luminous goldenrod stem. The graceful swag pulls the heart rose design together, adding just the right finishing touch to this classic design. Surrounding the motif is gorgeous heavily textured glass that allows plenty of light to shine through while still maintaining a sense of privacy, so the set is ideal for any setting, indoors or outdoors. This Red Mackintosh Glasgow Rose Heart Swag 2 Panel Antique Glass measures approximately, 17.25 inches H X 49.50 inches W X 01.75 inches D, including the original wooden frame.

This historic 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, and in the original wooden frame that still has some of the old paint still on it and definitely has appropriate wear for its age.
