This item was lost in the fire in The Mackintosh Building at The Glasgow School of Art on 23rd May 2014. Designed as individual lights within the Library at Glasgow School of Art. Very similar in design to the thirteen lampshades which make up the central light fitting in the Library.

Designed to hang in front of the lecture theatre screen.

The original position of the fifth lamp is not known. In 1985 it was cleaned and placed above the School outer front doors, at the same time as these were repainted white.

One of a number of shades designed for Mackintosh's flat at 78 Southpark Avenue, Glasgow. Mackintosh used a number of these lampshades in his flat at Southpark Avenue which he bought in 1906 and photos of the interiors show them hanging in the dining room and the drawing room and studio. They are just slightly different versions of the fittings used at Mains Street (originally made for gas) which can be seen hanging in clusters of four in the Annan photos of the drawing room and studio and the bedroom.  About 1919 William Davidson bought the Southpark Avenue flat and some of its furniture from the Mackintoshes, on his death Glasgow University bought it from his sons Hamish and Cameron who presented much of the furniture that had been used in it.

Designed for Windyhill, Kilmacolm. Identical to MC/F/39 except that the ladder-back is continued below the seat with three slats instead of the one thin rail in MC/F/39. The provenance is unknown. Mackintosh's list of objects sent to the Turin exhibition includes 'two small green chairs' which were not sold and so returned to Glasgow. From the price and description it seems possible they were the same as the ladder-back chairs designed for the Windyhill bedroom. Possibly MC/F/40 is one of these.

Designed for Windyhill, Kilmacolm. A letter from Mackintosh to Davidson states that two of these chairs were intended for the main bedroom, but Annan photographs of the time show one in the bedroom and one in the drawing room at Windyhill.

Designed for the Willow Tea Rooms, Glasgow. These chairs were 'the most successful solution of Mackintosh's attempts to use traditional, vernacular designs' (Roger Billcliffe). However they evidently proved too fragile in use, for all the surviving examples have had an additional cross piece fixed to the top of the uprights (apparently at an early date) to support them. This chair was used in conjunction with the low boxy chair as the main seating unit in the Willow Tea Rooms. This item was assessed for conversation in 2010 as part of the Mackintosh Conservation and Access project (2006-2010), and then again in 2018 following the fire in the Mackintosh Building in June 2018.

Designed for 120 Main Street, Glasgow. An armchair version of F14 possibly one of a pair made for Mackintosh's Mains Street flat. In the 1899 Art & Craft exhibition Mackintosh showed an armchair with 'lacquer panel by Miss Margaret Mackintosh'. The only chair which fits this description is the one in Copenhagen which was bought by Koloman Moser at the Vienna Secession exhibition in 1900. The GSA chair is identical but lacking the lacquer plaque. It was possibly made later c1901 as a replacement for that bought by Moser.
