Description: | RU inscribed with various measurements DES MACKINTOSH, Charles Rennie; (Scottish; 1868-1928) William Davidson, a provisions merchant, was to become one of Charles Rennie Mackintosh's most loyal patrons. In 1896, Davidson commissioned Mackintosh to design furniture for his home 'Gladsmuir', Kilmacolm, and subsequently to design his first important house, Windyhill, Kilmacolm. This drawing shows some of the preliminary ideas for the decoration of the metalwork for a linen cupboard and suggests that Mackintosh had considered introducing carved wooden ornament at the centre, below the upper cupboard. However, the most interesting variation from the executed cabinet is the incorporation of two decorative panels on the lower doors. The sketch of one of these is very similar in style and subject matter to the huge female figures stencilled on the walls at Buchanan Street Tea Rooms in 1896. | 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 : LINEN CUPBOARD : DAVIDSON, WILLIAM : 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 |
