CHARLES RENNIE MACKINTOSH (1868-1928) PAIR OF DINING CHAIRS, 1910 stained oak, with drop-in seats upholstered in horsehair fabric(46.6cm wide, 101cm high, 45cm deep)Footnote: Provenance: William Douglas Esq., Glasgow Benno Schotz Esq., Glasgow Jack Coia Esq., Glasgow and by descent Literature: Billcliffe, Roger Charles Rennie Mackintosh: The Complete Furniture, Furniture Drawings and Interior Designs, Moffatt 2009, p. 213, see footnote to no. 1910.12.25 Cotton, Bernard D. Scottish Vernacular Furniture London 2008, pp. 172-177, plates 296-298 For the third pair in this set see Lyon & Turnbull auction Decorative Arts: Design since 1860, 25th March 2015, Lot 291 Note: By 1910 Charles Rennie Mackintosh was in the last phase of creativity as an architect and designer in Glasgow. He had completed the second phase of the Glasgow School of Art the previous year, perhaps his greatest work. Further furniture orders were commissioned and delivered to the School in 1910. Other work included designs for the temporary White Cockade tearoom at the Glasgow Exhibition and redesigns of furniture and interior decorations for The Chinese Room and a new room, The Cloister Room, both for Miss Cranston's Ingram Street Tearooms. At the same time, he worked on a series of furniture designs for his friend, the decorator William Douglas, who worked from premises in West George Street. Douglas was employed on various projects by Mackintosh including Hous'hill, Miss Cranston's home, in 1904. Amongst the furniture designed for Douglas was a set of six oak dining chairs, of which two pairs are offered here. The chairs are oak, stained dark and designed in the ‘brander’ back style, so-called in Scotland because of their backs' resemblance to the brander iron or gridiron used over the fire to cook meat or to toast oatcakes. The origins of the brander back date to the late 18th century or earlier. The simple concept of vertical back slats was used on chairs in one interpretation or another for all levels of society throughout Scotland until the second half of the 19th century when it fell out of fashion. In common with, for example, his interpretations of ladder back chairs in various manifestations, Mackintosh has designed his own version of this vernacular chair. The back, typically squat, has been elongated, and the number of slats doubled from a characteristic four to eight. He has further accentuated the vertical character of the chair by omitting the cross-stretchers, normally found to the front and rear.

A POWERFUL STAG ANTLER NETSUKE OF KAN'U, ATTRIBUTED TO TOMOHISA Unsigned Japan, Kyoto, mid-18th century, Edo period (1615-1868)The Chinese military general finely carved standing, wearing a coat with voluminous folds, the hem sweeping to one side, following the natural curvature of the material, secured with a belt, a sword attached to it, with neatly incised armor underneath, his right hand lowered and holding his halberd, the left hand at his waist, the face with a fierce expression and eyes inlaid with dark horn. The back with two symmetrical himotoshi.HEIGHT 7.5 cmCondition: Good condition with minor surface wear, some inlays likely lost, superb patina.Provenance: Richard R. Silverman, acquired from I.M. Chait in 2003. Old collector’s label to back. Richard R. Silverman (1932-2019) was a renowned Asian art collector with one of the largest private collections of netsuke outside of Japan. He lived in Tokyo between 1964 and 1979 and began to collect netsuke there in 1968. Since the 1970s, he wrote and lectured about netsuke and was an Asian art consultant for Christie’s, Sotheby’s, and Bonhams. His gift of 226 ceramic netsuke to the Toledo Museum of Art constitutes perhaps the largest public collection of these miniature clay sculptures in the world. After moving to California, Silverman became a member of the Far Eastern Art Council at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in 1984. In 1993, he joined LACMA’s Executive Board. He served on the board of directors for the International Society of Appraisers from 1986 to 1994 and served nine years as chair for the City of West Hollywood Fine Arts Commission. Richard Silverman was posthumously awarded the Order of the Rising Sun for his decades-long promotion of Japanese culture. The present lot is attributed to Tomohisa, who belongs to an important group of 18th-century figure carvers, which also includes Mototada. About this group, Jay Hopkins writes, “Working in staghorn, they primarily produced large figures ranging from 3 to 6 inches in height. Subject matter usually involved Chinese legends, including Shoki, sennin, Kann’u, guardians and entertainers. They effectively used black horn to inlay eye pupils, buttons and other details – perhaps the earliest cavers to use this technique.” (Moss, Sydney L. (2016) Kokusai The Genius: and Stag-antler Carving in Japan, p. 30)Literature comparison: Four similar netsuke from the Tomohisa group, though depicting different subjects, are illustrated in Moss, Sydney L. (2016) Kokusai The Genius: and Stag-antler Carving in Japan, Vol. I, p. 31, fig. 13.
