Description
    Vienna’s Artistic Spring took important impulses from the artistic ideas of Scottish architect and craftsman Charles Rennie Mackintosh. This secretary desk with a fall-front writing surface was shown in 1902 as part of the Rose Boudoir at the First International Exhibition of Modern Decorative Art in Turin and purchased by Fritz Waerndorfer for his Viennese home. The decorative panels on the doors’ inner and outer surfaces as well as on the rear interior wall were done by Mackintosh’s wife, the artist Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh (1865–1933). They show “weeping roses” and female figures with rose blossoms and rose leaves; in keeping with the tears depicted on the panels, the handle-rings on the doors are likewise tear-shaped. (Hackenschmidt, Sebastian)
