Bassett-Lowke Esq Northampton Stencils for Walls of Hall / Stencil over door & window. Stencil No 4B" DES MACKINTOSH, Charles Rennie; (Scottish; 1868-1928) Mackintosh's last major commission was for the fitting out of 78 Derngate, Northampton, designed and executed between 1916 and 1920 for W. J. Bassett-Lowke, the model engineer. Internally, Mackintosh relocated the staircase which was masked by a lattice screen in order to maximise the floor area of the small lounge-hall. Here Mackintosh introduced a scheme of black furniture and walls, lightened by a chequered band of black and white. Above this band was a stencilled pattern of overlaid triangles in bright colours, including yellow, vermilion, blue, emerald green and purple, which created a striking effect. A few years later the scheme was replaced with a gentler palette of grey, black, and yellow. | 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: | STENCIL DESIGN : BASSETT-LOWKE, WENMAN JOSEPH : 78 DERNGATE, NORTHAMPTON : HALL : 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 |
