Panel by Charles Rennie Mackintosh
This is one of a series of plaster panels designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, architect and designer, for a frieze in the Willow Tea Rooms, Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow, about 1903. The work was commissioned by Catherine Cranston.
This plaster panel formed one of a series in a relief frieze along the walls of the Front Saloon. The willow theme of the panel design comes from the name of the street, Sauchiehall, which means 'alley of willows'.
Between 1896 and 1917 Miss Catherine Cranston, a shrewd businesswoman and a believer in the temperance movement, created several tea rooms in Glasgow. She commissioned Charles Rennie Mackintosh to work on four tea rooms.
