Charles Rennie Mackintosh Ingram chairs

Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868-1928) was a Scottish architect who created a distinctly original design style that was both lyrical and modern. Within his architectural schemes for schools, private homes and restaurants, Mackintosh frequently worked in collaboration with his wife, the artist Margaret Macdonald. Together they invented an aesthetic that blended the organic flow of the Art Nouveau style and the honest simplicity of the English Arts & Crafts movement.

This pair of Ingram chairs were designed for the White Room and the Cloister Room in the Ingram Street tea rooms in Glasgow. The dynamic design speaks to a neogothic style with their tall high backs, rectangular shapes and low seats. The chairs are in good vintage condition and have recently had the seats reupholstered in black cowhide.
