Lost Charles Rennie Mackintosh cabinet rediscovered in Perthshire on display

A long lost music cabinet designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh and rediscovered in Perthshire has gone on display in Glasgow.

John Cowie and Jonathan Conkey, owners of the Glasgow Guild, discovered it on one of their country auction trips.

“We happened to be viewing a sale in Perthshire when we came across the cabinet, which we initially thought must be of the Glasgow School,” said Mr Cowie.

“We both felt it was something special and after some research we were pleased to find it was designed by the great man himself.”

The cabinet, which had been consigned to Robertson’s of Kinbuck by a local lady who had stored it in her garage, sold for £36,000 this year.

The cabinet is to be displayed for public viewing at Mackintosh’s The Lighthouse, Scotland’s Centre for Design and Architecture, for a year.
