Queens Cross Church was built between 1896 and 1899 from a competition-winning design by Charles Rennie Mackintosh. The church is now in the care of the Charles Rennie Mackintosh Society which commissioned Timothy Richards to create these bookends to capture some of the unique design characteristics of Mackintosh's work. Red stained glass has been placed behind the two windows allowing light to shine from behind. These bookends have very clean, simple and elegant lines. They are a good illustration of Charles Rennie Mackintosh's talent for space and detailing. This is one of a series of fine Architectural models made by world-renowned artist, Timothy Richards. These models are made with plaster and other traditional construction materials including lead, acid-etched brass, glass, copper and gold leaf. Each model is individually hand-made in Timothy's studio and workshop in Bath in England.
