A Glasgow School oak sidetable designed by George Walton. Here again
this design is complicated similar to the larger sidetables he
designed for the Billiard room at the Buchanan Street tearooms. Each leg is mitred together
giving them a triangular shape which could have been made much easier from one piece of
wood. The stretchers with a subtle sweep to the top and
bottom allow the upper pointed arc to come together perfectly. An exposed biscuit joint at each point. See George Walton. Designer and Architect by Karen Moon. Page 54, and Christies King Street, 20th Century Decorative Art and Design, March 2006, lot 105 for another example.

A rare Glasgow School oak and leather 'Abingdon' armchair with original leather designed by George
Walton. Here this design is quite radical, with large flat arms
which protrude out incorporating the back legs and upright supports quite far back giving the
chair a light and airy feel, the gentle tapering legs with 1/2 splayed feet gives this unique
design a wonderful balanced almost feminine feel yet the continuation below the seat of the
back supports giving it a subtle architectural feel and again an infusion of his own style
with Mackintosh's obsession with this type of chair-back detailing. See George Walton.
