Now available in the United States and shipping worldwide through Auction By
Mark, these amazing sculptures from Europe's Parastone Mouseion collection
are very unique, beautifully rendered and constructed of fine collectible
quality resin.
This auction is for a 7.5 inch tall sculpture inspired by the 1900 work "The
Wassail" by Art Nouveau artist Charles Rennie Mackintosh. The lower image at
left is the original panel from which this sculpture was based.
Together with his wife Margaret, Mackintosh designed two large plastered
panels to decorate the famous Ingram Street Tea Rooms in Glasgow. It was an
assignment from the light-hearted businesswoman Kate Cranson, whose Glasgow
Tea-rooms became world famous for their advanced architecture and interior
design. The title "The Wassail" refers to a banquet traditionally held at
Halloween following the end of the harvest seas.
