Catalog Note:
Based on the 1904 original design by Mackintosh, this example is one of the two desks of this form commissioned by the Glasgow School of Art, likely produced during the school's major restoration campaign in the 1970s and 1980s. It is a preliminary execution of the known residential desk, which was installed in the schoolmaster's office at the school. Presumably, that desk was destroyed in the fire.
