Enjoy this great read that amongst other things, celebrates the Oak Room, now in our collection, designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh in 1907 for Miss Cranston’s Ingram Street Tearooms in Glasgow.
Miss Kate Cranston opened four Glasgow Tearooms at the end of the 19th century/beginning of the 20th, including the famous Willow Tea Rooms. With her entrepreneurial shrewdness, self-confidence, capacity for hardwork, commitment to quality and good design, and adventurous interest in the new, the Tearooms became thriving centres of Glasgow society. Ahead of her time, Miss Cranston ensured that her Tearooms were designed and furnished by talented young artists like Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
