Charles Rennie Mackintosh sideboard on display at Knockaloe
A charity has said it's 'really special' that a historical piece of furniture has returned to the Island.
The Centre for WW1 Internment at Knockaloe has been donated a sideboard designed by Scottish architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh, that was built in the camp.
It was crafted by Charles Matt, an internee who set up a workshop while stationed on the Island as part of a commission by Wenman Joseph Bassett-Lowke.
The sideboard was then brought back to the Isle of Man after Mr Matt's granddaughter donated it to the museum.
A historically significant piece, the sideboard has previously been displayed at world-renowned museums such as The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, The Art Institute of Chicago and The Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
