A super Glasgow School inlaid walnut wardrobe attributed to Wylie & Lochhead of Glasgow. With both Arts & Crafts and Art Nouveau influences it featured a canted D-shaped front, rich coloured well-figured solid walnut timbers and stylised flower and bud marquetry inlay. With a shallow moulded cornice above a single bevelled mirror door flanked by inlaid, box and ebony strung walnut panels on a base with two cupboards either side of a deep central drawer, the whole raised on turned legs and feet. With brass drop handles to the doors and brass bean shaped cut-out handles to the drawer, the interior fitted with hooks and a later hanging rail.
