Newbery and Jessie NewberyElsie Newbery and by family descentBarclay Lennie Fine Art, GlasgowDonald & Eleanor Taffner, New YorkLyon & Turnbull, Edinburgh The Taffner Collection, 7 September 2012, lot 23Private European collection Literature: Howarth T. Charles Rennie Mackintosh and the Modern Movement, New York, 1953, pl. 50Neuwirth W. Josef Hoffmann: Cutlery for the Wiener Werkstätte, Vienna 1982, p. 30Mackintosh was commissioned in 1902 by Jessie and Francis (Fra) Newbery to create an elegant table set for 12 people. Fra Newbery, then director of the Glasgow School of Art, was a strong supporter of Mackintosh’s work and played a crucial role in promoting his career. His wife, Jessie Newbery, was an accomplished embroiderer and influential figure in the Arts & Crafts movement. Their long-standing friendship with Mackintosh and his wife, Margaret Macdonald, fostered many creative collaborations.The commissioned cutlery set included a soup spoon, dessert spoon, dinner fork, and dessert fork. The order was placed through the Glasgow jeweller Edwards & Company and was executed by David W. Hislop, a skilled silversmith who had previously worked with Mackintosh on various projects. The cutlery set was later divided between the Newberys' daughters, Mary and Elsie. Over time, Mary’s pieces were sold separately between 1970 and 1980.Mackintosh’s cutlery design is revolutionary in its form. The spoons and forks feature exceptionally long, slender handles with a distinctive longitudinal oval opening. The forks are particularly striking, as the transition between the handle and the bowl was seamless, creating the illusion of a single, continuous band of metal. On the back, the bowls (except for the dessert fork) have a rectangular support with vertical embossing. The design anticipates Josef Hoffmann’s 1903 flaches Modell (flat model) cutlery, which was later showcased at the 1906 Wiener Werkstätte exhibition Der gedeckte Tisch (The Laid Table).
