The Hill House in Helensburgh is widely recognized as the most iconic home designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Scotland’s most famous architect.

Commissioned in 1902 by a wealthy Glasgow-based publisher, Walter Blackie, the house was carefully designed by Mackintosh to accommodate the Blackie family and their lifestyle.

Mackintosh paid just as much attention to the building’s interior spaces as to its overall architectural form. Every item of furniture, textile and decorative feature was custom made by Mackintosh and Margaret MacDonald, a well-established artist in the Arts and Crafts movement who was also his wife.

Some staining to the upholstery, overall good condition.
