Four new lights for Windyhill House. The original lamps are part of Glasgow School of Art's archive. Metal work by John Creed. 2003 | |
Surprisingly, these large hanging lamps are proportionally ideally suited to the low ceiling in the drawing room. 2003 | |
This large candelabrum is the focal point of the main stairwell, and can be seen equally well from inside and outside the house. 2002 | |
Over a period of five years, the mirror was remade, the lamps were restored, and new stencils were made, according to the original Annan photograph, from Glasgow University Archive. 2007 | |
Having been badly damaged, eight original lamps were carefully restored. New glass was specially hand made by the English Antique Glass Company. 2006 | |
After close examination of original, contemporary, Mackintosh stencils, we repainted the main bedroom using hand drawn stencils. 2007 | |
