The legs are formed by intersecting planks of oak which taper gently outwards at the bottom. A circular top and four lower shelves have been joined to the legs providing surfaces for refreshments and playing games. <br><br><br>The design was originally executed for the Argyle Street Tea Rooms. This particular example, however, came from the Ingram Street Tea Rooms. It is not known whether Mackintosh revived the design, probably around 1911, or whether in fact some of the tables were taken there when the Argyle Street rooms closed in 1920.<br><br>The top surface of the table was used for playing dominoes, a popular Glasgow pastime. The lower shelves held cups and plates and the unused dominoes of the four players.<br><br>Mackintosh often made use of the details of construction for decorative purposes. For example on this table, the exposed square tenons which attach the legs to the top form a simple geometric pattern adding interest to an otherwise plain surface.","physicalDescription":"A circular topped oak table above quartered lower shelving, the four plank supports flaring at the base, separated by stretchers.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Mackintosh, Charles Rennie","id":"A8638"},"association":{"text":"designer","id":"AAT25190"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"Francis and James Smith Ltd.","id":"A33285"},"association":{"text":"manufacturer","id":"x33306"},"note":""}],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"oak","id":"AAT12264"}],"techniques":[{"text":"Joinery","id":"x36614"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Stained oak","categories":[{"text":"Furniture","id":"THES48948"},{"text":"Scotland","id":"THES262877"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"FWK","id":"THES48597"},"images":["2006AM3090","2006AM3025"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"125G (VA)","id":"THES49212"},"free":"","case":"PL2","shelf":"","box":"5"}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Table","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Glasgow","id":"x28891"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":"probably"}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"ca. 1907","earliest":"1902-01-01","latest":"1911-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""},{"date":{"text":"ca. 1907","earliest":"1902-01-01","latest":"1911-12-31"},"association":{"text":"designed","id":"x29338"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Given by the Glasgow School of Art","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"76.5","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"41.5","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"base","note":""},{"dimension":"Depth","value":"40","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"base","note":""},{"dimension":"Diameter","value":"67","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"maximum, approx.","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"Dimensions checked: Measured; 24/03/1999 by KL","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"4' handwritten on underside of drop in seat","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":"A8877"},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":""}],"objectHistory":"This set probably commissioned from Mackintosh by Miss Kate Cranston for the Ingram Street Tea Rooms, Glasgow; table originally designed for the Argyle Street Tea Rooms, GlasgowDesigned by Charles Rennie Mackintosh (born in Glasgow, 1868, died in London, 1928); Manufactured by Francis and James Smith Ltd. in Glasgow.","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Table designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh for Ingram Tea Room, manufactured by Francis and James Smith Ltd, stained oak, ca. 1907","bibliographicReferences":[],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[{"text":"Table","id":"x31811"},{"text":"gaming tables","id":"AAT39694"}],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[{"text":"British Galleries:\nMackintosh designed some of his most original and complete buildings and interior decorative schemes for tea rooms in Glasgow owned by Kate Cranston.
