About This Carrick Floral Brooch
A slim oval frame holds a single stylised flower on long, sweeping stems, with the rounded petals gathered at one end. The open spaces around the flower let your clothing show through, which gives the piece a light and airy feel. The back of this Carrick floral brooch has a fine hand-finished texture, and a long pin fitting keeps it secure when worn.
The Rennie Mackintosh Style
Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868–1928) was a Scottish architect and designer, and one of the leading figures of the Glasgow Style. His stylised rose, with its rounded petals and long, straight stem, became one of the best known symbols of Scottish design. This Carrick floral brooch takes its inspiration from that look, with the same balance of soft curves and clean lines.

Wearing and Gifting
At just under 5cm long, the Carrick floral brooch can be worn straight or at an angle on a coat lapel, a scarf, a cardigan or a plain dress. Its simple outline suits both smart and everyday outfits. It would make a lovely gift for anyone who loves Scottish design or Glasgow, and a thoughtful memento for a former Glasgow School of Art student or a visitor to the city.
Caring for Your Silver Brooch
Clean your Carrick floral brooch gently with a soft silver polishing cloth, working along the frame and stems. Take care not to bend the slim sections, and avoid over-polishing any darker recesses, as they help to show off the detail. Put your brooch on after applying perfume or hairspray, and store it in a dry pouch or box, away from damp, to help slow tarnishing.
