CHARLES RENNIE MACKINTOSH (1868-1928)

The design drawing for these spoons is held in the Hunterian Museum, Glasgow, ref. GLAHA 41933. They are believed to have been designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh for his wife Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh as they bear her monogram. In her will Margaret mentions two spoons to be bequested to the couple's friend, Desmond Chapman-Huston. Francis Webb worked with Desmond Chapman-Huston and was the left the spoons upon the latter's death. It is believed that these two spoons are unique rather than part of a larger set.
