Charles Rennie Mackintosh was a gifted artist, designer, craftsman and architect, one of the defining figures of the Glasgow Style and the flowering of Art Nouveau in Scotland. As part of the celebrated group known as 'The Four', his influence on decorative arts remains unmatched.
This panel pendant, crafted in solid Sterling Silver, takes the most direct approach to the Mackintosh rose in the range. A tall, smooth rectangle of high-polished silver forms the body of the piece; solid, weighty and quietly architectural in itself. Through the upper portion, a single abstracted rose is pierced in open relief; broad sweeping petals surrounding a swirling centre, a long curved stem descending the face of the panel to its base. The rose form is bold and reduced, not decorative, but structural, as Mackintosh himself would have intended.
The contrast between the smooth, reflective surface and the open pierced rose is the whole composition. Simple, confident and immediately recognisable to those who know his work.
At 21mm x 8mm and 2g it is slender and considered; a piece that wears quietly but rewards a second look.
