Mackintosh cabinet sold for £36,000

A MUSIC cabinet made by Charles Rennie Mackintosh that lay undisturbed in a garage for years has sold for £36,000 at auction.

The furniture was taken to Robertsons of Kinbuck near Dunblane by a woman who had inherited it from her grandmother.

It was bought at a Dumfries saleroom in the 1950s, but was only discovered to be authentic Mackintosh after research into its history.
