Note: This cabinet demonstrates some stylistic similarities to a series of furniture designed by Mackintosh for W.J. Bassett-Lowke and made by the interns at Knockaloe camp, Isle of Man circa 1916. The cut-out handles with and pierced squares are familiar Mackintosh devices which he used in many of his furniture designs.
