SCOTTISH: MODERN CAST FROM THE ORIGINAL
Designed by Charles Renni Mackintosh (1868-1928), 1903
Plaster
The Willow Tearooms was Mackintosh's most elegant commission from his loyal client Miss Kate Cranston. The Front Saloon was furnished with black ladderback chairs and a plaster frieze of panels of this design covered the upper walls. The design is derived from stylised willows. Mackintosh used a similar panel to decorate the staircase of his house in Southpark Avenue, Glasgow, where he moved in 1906.(1993) |
| Credit line | Given by Glasgow School of Art |
| Object history | The panel was cast from the mould of a gesso panel used as the repeating unit in a decorative frieze in the Willow Tea Room, Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow |
