This panel was originally installed in the interior vestibule door of the Mallen House and was subsequently removed during a remodel of the home following a fire in the 1980s.

George Washington Maher was a Chicago based architect known for his significant contributions to the Prairie School and Arts & Crafts design movements. Like his contemporaries, Louis Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright, Maher was known to use motifs that were based on geometric patterning mixed with designs from nature. Maher would creatively tie the design elements throughout a home together by his repeated use of native plant patterns that were incorporated in his custom windows, tiles and woodwork as well as on bespoke pieces of lighting and furniture. This was evident in Maher's use of poppies and vine patterns throughout the Herman W. Mallen house.
