Glasgow Museums has a collection of items related to Charles Rennie Mackintosh and the Glasgow Style. These date broadly from 1885 to 1949. This collection comprises decorative, fine and graphic arts by a number of Glasgow Style artists, designers and craftspeople, including Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Margaret and Frances Macdonald, Jessie Marion King, Talwin Morris, George Walton and the firm of cabinetmakers Wylie and Lochhead. Work by Charles Rennie Mackintosh mainly relates to his tearoom interiors, furnishings and fittings, but also includes early graphic work, late watercolours and collaborative pieces by ‘The Four’. The Glasgow Style collection includes metalwork, enamelwork, furniture, interiors and furnishings, textiles, glass and stained glass, ceramics, gesso, works on paper and paintings. The Glasgow Style represented a distinctive style of decorative design produced by Glasgow artists and designers from about 1890 to 1920. Shaped by many designers and centred around the Glasgow School of Art, the Glasgow Style was Great Britain’s contribution to Art Nouveau, and Scotland’s significant contribution to the Arts and Crafts Movement.
