Glasgow School Green Stained Cypress Wood, Glazed Bookcase Mackintosh Attributed

Charles Rennie Mackintosh-attributed bookcase

A Glasgow School green stained cypress wood and glazed bookcase attributed to Charles Rennie Mackintosh, with bullion glazed doors with arched upper details and pierced brass hinges and square cut-out lock plates. The bookcase, made from cypress wood, features stylised brass hinges that are certainly in the same style as much of Mackintosh's work at this time.

The lock plates with square cut-out details are also common in much of Mackintosh's furniture and interiors and would particularly point to him. This bookcase was also purchased in Glasgow in 2009.

The pattern of the bullions is asymmetrical and flows through the doors. In the top two central panes, the glass is longer to fulfil the design.
