Charles Rennie Mackintosh remains Scotland's most celebrated designer, his work produced in Glasgow at the turn of the twentieth century establishing a visual language that was entirely his own. Drawing on the organic forms of Art Nouveau while imposing upon them a rigorous geometric discipline, Mackintosh created a body of decorative work that has never lost its relevance. The rose was central to his vocabulary, appearing across his architectural interiors, textile designs and graphic work as a stylised, abstracted form that balanced natural reference with formal control. The combination of the Mackintosh rose with the heart outline reflects the romantic strand that ran through much of his decorative output, the flowing lines of his botanical forms lending themselves naturally to the heart's curves.
This pendant presents an open heart outline as its primary frame, its lines clean and smoothly defined. Within the interior, a Mackintosh rose composition is set to the lower right, the sculpted rose head rendered with its characteristic layered petal structure and open geometric detail at the centre. Below the rose, two pointed heart-shaped leaves extend in opposite directions, their form drawn directly from Mackintosh's established botanical vocabulary. Sweeping curved lines arc across the interior of the heart, connecting the rose composition to the frame and filling the open space with fluid, organic movement. The silver throughout carries a high mirror polish. A smooth bail connects the pendant above.
At 15.7mm x 15.1mm it is refined and compact. Weight 1.12g. 925 sterling silver. Bail fitting.
