Note du spécialiste


In 1896 Miss Cranston (1849-1934) commissioned George Walton to refurbish her Buchanan Street tea rooms in Glasgow, whilst Charles Rennie Mackintosh was employed to decorate the walls of the ladies tea room. Chairs similar to these can be seen in contemporary photographs of the tea room.
