Decorative Cast Iron
Dec Iron 2 & IP 32 - TALWIN MORRIS cast iron stickstand. £POA.
(The 1st 3 pictures to the right are from the Studio)
Talwin Morris has in the past been counted as the 5th member of the Glasgow Four, because of his maturity & long standing friendship with ' The Spook School '- (Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Herbert Macnair, & Margaret & Francis Macdonald). He was first to translate their ideas into commercial design & the first collector of items that they designed & produced. He came to Glasgow in 1893, a crucial time in the development of the Glasgow Style, to take up his post as director of Blackie's publishing house. He studied as an Architect & designed many items of jewellery, hand beaten metalwork & even pieces of furniture, which are very rare, but he is most famous for his incrediable Glasgow Style designs of metalwork & for Blackie book covers whom Mackintosh also designed for, but probably most important was that, 'he secured' for Macintosh the commission for the Blackie's new home in Helensborough, The Hill House..
There are only 2 known example's of a cast iron stick stand designed by Talwin Morris the other design has through cut-outs to the heart centre's & slits to the sides.

Dec Iron 15 - A rare cast iron double garden bench with wonderful stylised floral details throughout & dragons heads to the front arms with dragons paw feet. When I purchased this double bench all the seat rails were rotten but luckily the original top rail with 'OLD ENGLAND' was still in perfect condition due to the fact that it doesn't lie flat & therefore doesn't hhave water sit on it for so long before it is blown of or dried by the sun. As you can see it is need of the same restoration as the 2 above items which I can get refurbished if required & painted to the colour of your choice, it will be gently bead blasted so as not to damage the surface while removing the old rust & paint & then specially powder coated paint to resist outside use, once this is completed we can make new slats to match the original quittessential English top rail :0) Circa 1870's. £POA.
