Argyle Art Nouveau Chair Inspired by the high backed chair design of renowned turn-of-the-century furniture artist and architect Charles Renee Macintosh is my version of his beautiful chair. Argyle is made of curly (or Tiger stripe) Purpleheart exotic wood (a rare form of Purpleheart) with fused Purple Dichroic glass inset panels. Commissioned by the Y.W.C.A. in Williamsport, PA for their Chair-ity auction.

A view of the back of the chair. The difference in color in the arc of the elipse is due to an iridized coating on the back of the purple transparent glass.
