Charles Rennie Mackintosh Chair 1903

So after two weeks of oil paintings, the Persephone Post returns to the kitchen and we shall have a week of domestic objects. Here is a chair designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh in 1903. It has been imitated countless times yet the original has an inimitable quality and is quite unlike any other chair in the world. It is also a classic in the sense that you could imagine anyone in any of our books sitting on it, male, female, affluent, less well off, it would suit every household.
