Wall hanging designed for The Dug-Out, Willow Tea Rooms, Glasgow

Wall hanging designed for The Dug-Out, Willow Tea Rooms, Glasgow

This item was lost in the fire in The Mackintosh Building at The Glasgow School of Art on 23rd May 2014. The canvas relates to smaller watercolours in the Hunterian collection, formerly thought to be textile designs, and to their painted canvas, 'The Little Hills' by Margaret Macdonald. It is likely that they were intended for 'The Dug-Out', though it is not known whether they were ever installed there. Jessie Newbery recalled in 1933, that 'He (Mackintosh) and his wife spent the winter of 1914 painting two large decorations for Miss Cranston'. This would have been in Suffolk, after they had left Glasgow. Although The Dug-Out was not created till 1917-18 it is not unlikely that Miss Cranston was considering the project some years earlier. The canvas was found in the GSA in a single roll in 1981 and was cleaned and mounted on two stretchers.

Table

In 1952 it was announced that a prize fund of £5/5/0 had being made available to support a competition amongst the Design students for the commissioning of a new Board Room table. Significantly, it was agreed that the prize be awarded on the condition that the design “should be in keeping with the Mackintosh tradition” and “should be capable of being carried out economically”. The winning design was put forward James Stevenson Hooper, a third year student, and is probably the earliest known example of furniture being deliberately made in the ‘Mackintosh style’. The table remains within the School.
