Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868-1928), made by Guthrie and Wells.
A Glasgow School Arts and Crafts stained green cypress wood wardrobe, with white opaque textured square glass details to the top. The central door and a large lower drawer with brass heart escutcheons and brass stylized foliate hinges and handles.
The simple case construction and stained green cypress wood and grouping of square details are typical of Mackintosh’s early work for Guthrie and Wells including items bought by William Davidson for his house Gladsmuir, Kilmacolm. The brass cabinet fittings are identical on a number of pieces, see Billcliffe, p. 33, fig. 1895.2 and 1895.3 for a washstand and dressing table designed by Mackintosh, also made by Guthrie and Wells. Also a white painted wardrobe/compactum.
The over-hanging cornice has been adapted with hinged flaps to move it up a narrow staircase.
