"HALL FURNIT / URE FOR WILL / IAM DAVIDSO / N ESQR"; other notes and measurements DES MACKINTOSH, Charles Rennie; (Scottish; 1868-1928) Windyhill, Kilmacolm, was Mackintosh's first major domestic commission. It was begun in 1900 for his client William Davidson, a Glasgow provisions merchant, who was to become one of Mackintosh's most loyal patrons. Davidson had previously commissioned furniture from Mackintosh in the 1890s for his property at Gladsmuir, Kilmacolm.
The hall was an important space in the house, doubling up as a dining room for large gatherings. The table was built virtually as shown. However, arms and tapering backs were added to the executed chairs. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | FURNITURE DESIGN : HALL : WINDYHILL, KILMACOLM : DAVIDSON, WILLIAM : KILMACOLM : CRM ONLINE : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
