About This Historic Originals Brooch

The design is a slim, ribbed bar with a pair of rounded roses and small pointed leaves set at the centre. The darker recesses help the petals to stand out against the polished silver, so the rose can be seen clearly even at a distance. On the back, the Historic Originals name is stamped into the smooth silver behind the flower, and a long pin keeps this Historic Originals brooch secure when worn.

The Mackintosh Rose

Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868–1928) was a Scottish architect and designer, and a leading figure of the Glasgow Style. His simplified rose became one of the most recognisable symbols of Scottish design, appearing in his buildings, furniture and interiors. This Historic Originals brooch is inspired by that famous motif, making it a lovely choice for anyone who admires his work.

Wearing and Gifting

The bar shape makes this an easy brooch to wear, whether straight on a lapel, across a scarf or at the neck of a blouse. At just 6.4g it is light enough for finer fabrics too. A Historic Originals brooch would make a thoughtful gift for a birthday or an anniversary, or for someone who loves Scottish design or has a connection with Glasgow.

Caring for Your Silver Brooch

Clean your brooch gently with a soft silver polishing cloth, working over the raised petals and leaves. Try not to over-polish the darker recesses, as they help to show off the detail of the rose. Put your jewellery on after applying perfume or hairspray, and store your Historic Originals brooch in a dry pouch or box, away from damp, to help slow tarnishing.
