M. H. Baillie Scott, attributed. Three Arts and Crafts High-back oak armchairs
POA
M. H. Baillie Scott, attributed. Three Arts and Crafts high-back oak armchair with a tall back rising to a pierced top rail, constructed in quarter-sawn oak. Two examples have leather-inset backs, while one example has a fabric-inset back.
Although there is no firm evidence that these were designed by M. H. Baillie Scott, the planked full-length backs, stylised fretwork tree designs to the top, triangular seats, and low floor stretchers all strongly point to his hand.
Identical versions are illustrated in Siegfried Wichmann, Jugendstil: Floral and Functional Forms, Bayerisches Nationalmuseum, Munich 1984, p.121, pl.244. A similar example is illustrated on the Blackwell guidebook cover (Baillie Scott, Blackwell, Windermere).
Three available. Can be sold either as a matching pair, a set of three, or the fabric chair individually.
