An Art Nouveau mahogany wardrobe attributed to James Salmon, the projecting moulded cornice above a central mirror door flanked by panelled doors with decorative brass hinges, enclosed by fluted pilasters, raised on a plinth with square section shaped legs 196cm wide, 185cm high, 56cm deep Note: The architect and designer James Salmon (1873-1924) was a friend and direct contemporary of Charles Rennie Mackintosh. In common with other Glasgow designers at the time, Salmon's work emulates Mackintosh's, particularly with reference to his best known buildings in Glasgow, amongst them 142 St. Vincent Street (the 'Hatrack'), and Lion Chambers in Hope Street. It is likely this influence extended to his design work as this wardrobe demonstrates, particularly with regard to the decorative hinges and the individuality of its design.
