The Bridport Mackintosh Library pendant lamp, is an exact replica of the smaller model featured in the library. This replica has been made by careful measurement of the actual fittings which still illuminate the Library, but more importantly, by reference to the actual drawings prepared by Mackintosh, for these fittings.

There are some very slight variances between the drawings and the actual fittings, this probably occurred because of the difficulty of manufacture. However, where these variances occur, priority has been given to the Mackintosh drawings, in order to produce as faithfully as possible an exact replica of this outstanding Mackintosh design, fully aproved by the Glasgow School of Art.

Visitors fortunate enough to actually enter the Library at the Glasgow School of Art , will notice that the design for the pendant light fittings strongly reflect the fugue windows which rise uninterrupted through three floors. They have similarties to the western elevation entrance in Scott Street.

The replica light fittings are made by designer, John Brown of Bridport, Dorset UK, which by coincidence is a town Mackintosh visited. Indeed Franicis H Newbury, who commissioned Rennie Mackintosh to design the Glasgow School of Art actually lived in Bridport and studied at the Bridport Literary and Scientific Institute. Examples of Newbury's paintings are still exhibited in the Bridport Town Hall.
