We’ve made these lights by combining modern LED technology with traditional arts and crafts skills to give a gorgeous product for your home. Use the lights to bring beauty to anywhere – no socket needed as they’re battery powered; hang them on a wall, bookshelf, have a Mackintosh-adorned christmas tree or houseplant!
Mackintosh produced the ‘Teardrop and Rose’ as a textile design whilst working in Chelsea, London. We’ve painstakingly replicated his hand colouring of the roses using a shaded watercolour technique. Printed on stiff paper using archival quality inks in rich vivid colour; when lit the roses glow softly. The effect is rich and beautiful; instantly a classic Mackintosh design is before you in stunning colour.
These lights are hand made in our Northampton studio and are exclusive to Duille.
As a hand made product no two light strings are identical – expect minor variations; it’s what Mackintosh did!
The lights are powered by 2 AA batteries which are supplied and last a very long time.
