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. Visit T. Botero Galleries to view a plethora of impor-
