\nIn 1903 Mrs Cranston and Major Cochrane asked Mackintosh to design the interior of their residence, Hous\u2019hill in Nittshill, Glasgow.
\nThis chair and three chairs of the low version (see mod. 894) were produced for the \u201cdrawing room\u201d. The pencil and watercolour drawing of this model, dated October 1904, is now in the collection of the University of Glasgow.
\nThere are small differences between the chair actually produced and the original drawing.
\nIn 1920 the house was sold and around 1930 it was seriously damaged by fire, subsequently demolished. This chair, among the few pieces saved, was purchased at auction in 1933 by Mr W. Ward.
\nAfter Mr. Ward’s death the chair was sold at auction by Sotheby’s on March 13, 1975 and is now on display in an American museum.<\/p>\n
