A pair of green stained ash and beech ladder back chairs, with re-rushed seats. Although these chairs are associated with Mackintosh for both the Gauld furniture and other pieces for William Davidson, they were not designed by Mackintosh. Mackintosh would have seen them at the various exhibitions going on at the time and may have used them for their timeless beauty and exaggerated high backs something he was continually using in his own chair designs. The unusual use of balls to the feet are quite different to all other traditional ladder backs and do fall into the Arts and Crafts Movement and were made by Phillip Clissett.
