Designed for MacRae by renowned Southern Architect Bobby McAlpine, the

McAlpine Home Collection features a number of delightful pieces ranging

from stunning case goods to elegant accent pieces – each reflecting

McAlpine’s inimitable style and reinterpretation of traditional English antique

design. Among them, the Museum Crate Console shown here in weathered

oak. Conceptually, McAlpine wanted a shipping crate that an antique might

travel in to morph into a piece of furniture itself. After all, sometimes

crates are as handsome as what they house — notice the hand grips at

floor level. www.macraedesigns.com.
