Charles Rennie Mackintosh is a hot commodity—but Mackintosh was just one member of a decorative arts movement called the Glasgow Style, influenced by the British Arts and Crafts Movement as well as Art Nouveau. This is the first book in thirty years to focus on the diverse array of decorative objects created in the style, from furniture, metalwork, jewelry, embroidery, textiles, dress, pottery, to stained glass, book illustration, and beyond; values range from two-million-dollar Mackintosh desks to ten-dollar antique books. 530 beautiful photographs, many of objects never before published, are featured, as well as facsimile pages from antique periodicals, advertisements, and catalogs. These fascinating artists—many of them women—are profiled in twenty biographies, including Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Herbert McNair, Margaret Macdonald, and Frances Macdonald.
