White Gold Locket Crafted In The Profile Of A Rose

Famed Window Feted on a White Gold Locket

A decorative rose mounted in a window panel captures the sunshine filtering through to make a delightful appearance on the inside of a room developed by the famed designer Charles Rennie Mackintosh. This famous image features on a pendant or white gold locket by Ola Gorie.

The architect and designer Rennie Mackintosh generally incorporated coloured glass into his home furniture and rooms in the early 1900s. He specially designed residences together with the interior decor for a variety of rich clientele and created buildings such as the Glasgow School of Art.

In the Rose Boudoir he set in place the rose image of a female figure gripping a rose which inspired the color schema of white, silver and pink as well as the ornamental detailing of several pieces for the room he called the Rose Boudoir. He together with his wife Margaret Macdonald designed the room setting for the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative Art in Turin in 1902.

Rose Design Engraved in a White Gold Locket

You can step inside a splendid room displaying roses by Rennie Mackintosh and Macdonald in the House for an Art Lover in Bellahouston Park, near Glasgow Airport. It could be easily renamed House for a Rose Lover. The dining room is filled with this motif which adorns the carved open fireplace and stencil decorations, the rug and stained glass inserts of the sliding doors to the stemmed rose features on the sideboard in addition to the hand-blown pendant lamps. Hung around the walls are a selection of gesso panels by Macdonald, illustrating the life span of the rose. It’s no surprise that Ola decided upon this icon for her white gold locket, necklace and brooch.

The House for an Art Lover was designed by Rennie Mackintosh and Macdonald for a German tournament in 1901. Their concept was disqualified resulting from incomplete submission but was highly praised and circulated around Europe. This residential home was never seen by the partnership who created it.

It wasn’t until 1987 that Glasgow civil engineer Graham Roxburgh introduced the thought of constructing the House for an Art Lover. He got together a workforce of talented contemporary architects, builders, designers and craftspeople, who could build this jewel of a building and interior design. It was finally built in 1994. It is really a weird feeling, wandering through the rooms the actual designers never ever saw.

Our jewellery site has far more information of Ola Gorie’s Rose Boudoir design. It does work very well as a white gold locket.
