These Candida Cottage Chairs were part of the series believed to have been designed for the country home of the industrialist W.Basset Lowke. The client proved to be difficult and the design of the table with accompanying chairs was not accepted. Roger Billcliffe, author of the definitive catalog of Mackintosh's work feels that judging from the careful detailing of the executive drawings, Mackintosh considered this series as particularly important. The chairs were not manufactured during his lifetime, but have gone on to become widely popular due to their elegance and Mackintosh signature flair.
