EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning high-back side chair, crafted in 1898 by the renowned designer Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Made from oak and rush, this elegant piece of furniture stands at an impressive height of 136.5 centimeters and features intricate details that exemplify the Arts and Crafts movement. During the late 19th century, Glasgow's tea rooms became social hotspots where people gathered to enjoy good food and stylish surroundings. Miss Catherine Cranston owned four such establishments in the city, each adorned with Mackintosh's adventurous designs. This particular chair is a testament to his creativity, with its dramatic black color and a unique oval shape crowned by a birdlike cutout. When arranged in groups of six or eight, these chairs created intimate spaces within larger rooms – cozy nooks for patrons to engage in conversation or simply relax. The combination of Victorian design elements and Mackintosh's distinctive style makes this high-back side chair both functional and visually striking. Now housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts in Minnesota, USA, this remarkable piece continues to captivate viewers with its timeless elegance. With its rich history rooted in Scotland's artistic heritage, it serves as a reminder of Mackintosh's enduring influence on interior design aesthetics worldwide.
