  A BRIEF HISTORY OF CHARLES RENNIE MACKINTOSH

 

  In late 19th-century Glasgow an exciting combination of industrial wealth and
  skills, artistic talent and enlightened patronage produced the climate that
  fostered a new movement in design and style, with Charles Rennie Mackintosh
  at its head.

 

  The ‘Glasgow Style’ of the late 19th century was an idiosyncratic variation
  of Art Nouveau and the Arts and Crafts movement.

 

  Mackintosh was an all round designer and his acclaimed willow and rose motifs
  were used throughout the interiors of one of his best known creations, Miss
  Cranston’s Tea Rooms.

 

  He died in 1928 and has now become renowned worldwide for his distinctive
  repertoire of forms and motifs.
