Waring and Gillow, a chequer, ebony and boxwood inlaid walnut sideboard, in the manner of M.H. Ballie, labelled, 188cm high, 202cm wide, 71cm deep Under close inspection of the label it says 'Waring & Gillow', the 'Gillow' being so small one can only see it under an eye glass. During the final years of the 19th century Gillows ran into financial difficulty and from 1897 began a loose financial arrangement with Waring of Liverpool. Gillows and Warings both had stores in Oxford Street, London and it is also thought that the expiry of the former's lease also prompted the two firms joining together. This was legally ratified by the establishment of Waring & Gillow in 1903. Gillow of Lancaster absorbed, arguably, the most exceptional makers of the late Victorian period Collinson & Lock. They had been the makers of important furniture to the designs of Edward William Godwin, the godfather of the Modern Movement. Therefore the Gillow, Waring and Collinson & Lock, each a prominent firm, came together to form what, turned out to be, one of the top furniture companies in the land drawing on over 160 years of experience from Gillows alone. It remained an independent firm until 1985 when it was taken over. This sideboard is a historic work of art made at the very beginnings of the famous Waring & Gillow, known around the globe for innovation, exceptional quality and cutting edge design from the Arts and Crafts Movement.

Margaret Thomson Wilson (1864-1912), a pair of embossed copper and oak panels, signed 'MTW' in a square, 33cm x 27cm. Margaret Thomson Wilson was born in Cambuslang in 1864 and died suddenly in Glasgow in 1912. She enrolled as a student at the Glasgow School of Art in 1892 where she participated in a wide variety of disciplines but most particularly her emphasis was on repousse metalwork. She became a member of the Glasgow Society of Lady Artists from about 1893. In 1898 she exhibited at the People's Palace Inaugural Exhibition in Glasgow and from this point exhibited widely, mainly in paintings and metalwork until her death in 1912. A report in the Studio magazine of 1899 of 'The Glasgow School of Art Club' annual exhibition at the Fine Art Institute regarded her hammered brass as 'work of excellent quality'. Of the exhibition as a whole, it was reported 'no one interested can fail to observe in the best works of the School of Art Club a direct interogation of nature, a study of the refinements of line, a consideration of the exigencies of material, and an effort at expression in the design itself of the purpose of its creation'

Talwin Morris (attributed), a rare Glasgow School cast iron stick, inset with the original tubelined tile of a Glasgow Rose, probably by Pilkington's, cast 'No 176' and 'Rd No 479021', 72.5cm high, 37.5cm wide, 18cm deep Talwin Morris has in the past been counted as the fifth member of the Glasgow Four, because of his maturity and long standing friendship with 'The Spook School' of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Herbert Macnair, and Margaret and Francis Macdonald. He was first to translate their ideas into commercial design and the first collector of items that they designed and produced. He came to Glasgow in 1893, a crucial time in the development of the Glasgow Style, to take up his post as art director of Blackie & Sons publishing house. He had studied as an architect and designed many items of jewellery, hand beaten metalwork and even pieces of furniture, which are rare. He is most famous for his incredible Glasgow Style designs of metalwork and for the book covers for Blackie and others but possibly the most most significant of all was that he secured for Macintosh the commission for the Blackie's new home in Helensborough, The Hill House, considered Macintosh's greatest domestic design.

Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868-1928), a cypress wood and brass writing cabinet, formerly green stained, with cut-out stylised foliate hinges, the drawer with conforming handles, the base with two shelves, 159cm high, 96cm wide, 45cm deep Provenance: by descent from the relatives of James Guthrie. This writing cabinet was consigned to McTears, Auction House in Glasgow, together with a collection of items, as part of a house clearance, including silver, brassware with 'Guthrie' stamped in bold writing onto two separate chargers, two watercolours and an oil painting by Guthrie. This secretaire and a sideboard, both part of this consignment, were both made from cypress wood and designed by Mackintosh. For similar see Kaplan, Wendy (editor) 'Charles Rennie Mackintosh', pl. 159. opposite p. 233. The original furniture Mackintosh designed for Guthrie & Wells was made from cypress wood and stained green and of simple construction. This is the same with the present lot and one can see in the image that behind the hinges the original green stain is still as vibrant as the day it was applied. The keyhole escutcheons are exactly the same as on the linen press which has candle sconces to each side that Mackintosh designed for John Henderson, one of the earliest known surviving pieces he designed. The back treatment of this present lot is the same and has just three wide boards which run from the top right to the floor. The side treatment is also from the top straight to the ground quite typical of Mackintosh but very rare on any other pieces of furniture from the late Victorian period. For this see Kaplan, Wendy (editor) 'Charles Rennie Mackintosh', p. 232, fig 160 and Billcliffe, Roger 'Charles Rennie Mackintosh: The Complete Furniture, Furniture Drawings, & Interior Designs', p.34, fig. 1895.6. The metalwork is identical on some pieces and so very similar on others, see the Billcliffe work above, p. 33, fig. 1895.2 and 1895.3 for washstand and dressing table handles. The hinges on all these pieces are actually hinges as opposed to fake applied plates and the hinged ends are formed identically. On the sideboard that came from the same property, i.e the Guthrie relatives, the hinges are identical and the small detail to the bottom centre of the sideboard is identical to the drawing illustrated in Billcliffe, p. 34, fig. 1897.7. That detail is also on a number of other pieces by Mackintosh (see Billcliffe, as before, p, 36, fig. 1896.1, fig. 1896.2, fig 1896.6 and fig. 1896.8. The form and style of this writing cabinet, undoubtedly in his hand, with the floral brass hinge, which mirrors the fretwork flowers to the sides, is almost identical to the roses that the stylised women are holding on the stencilled decoration he designed for Buchanan Tea Rooms in 1897. For this see Kaplan, Wendy (editor), as before, p. 81, fig. 45 and Billcliffe, as before, p. 40, fig. 1896.11). He also uses a flat top on quite a number of other cabinets and pieces of free standing furniture, again, like the present lot. Taken from an e-mail correspondence on 14/01/09 between Tony Geering and Peter Trowles, MLitt., FRSA, Mackintosh Curator, Archives and Collections Centre, the Glasgow School of Art. 'I think your bureau has all the attributes to link it to a Mackintosh-related piece. The underlying green stain, simple case construction and choice of ironmongery are all strong pointers plus youÆve got the Guthrie provenance'

Charles Rennie Mackintosh (attributed) a Glasgow School green stained cypress wood and glazed bookcase, with bullion glazed doors with arched upper details and pierced brass hinges and square cut-out lock plates, 126cm high, 127cm wide, 34cm deep The bookcase has much in common with the above lot, made from cypress wood with stylised brass hinges that are certainly in the same style as much of Mackintosh's work at this time. The lock plates with square cut-out details are also common in much of Mackintosh's furniture and interiors and would particularly point to him. This bookcase was also purchased in Glasgow in 2009. The pattern of the bullions are assymetrical and flow through the doors. In the top two central panes, the glass is longer to fulfil the design.

Glasgow School, a pair of green stained ash and beech ladderback chairs, with re-rushed seats, 115cm high Provenance: McTears saleroom, Glasgow 2004 See Billcliffe, Roger 'Mackintosh Furniture' Moffat 1984, p. 13 for an illustration of one of these chairs. The author notes one of these chairs in the Hunterian Art Gallery, University of Glasgow which are also stained green. He further notes 'Although associated with both the Gauld furniture and other pieces for William Davidson, it is still possible that this is a commercial piece and not designed by Mackintosh. The exaggerated high ladderback of these chairs and the unusual use of balls to the feet are quite different to all other traditional ladderbacks and so fall into the Arts and Crafts style. This hybrid style is similar to the chairs designed by Ernest Gimson and made by Edward Gardiner and Phillip Clissett.
£3500 the pair.
