Description
SIR EDWIN LUTYENS supervised the decoration and remodelling of No. 34, Hill Street, Berkeley Square, and it is now one of the finest town houses of its size in Mayfair…In a house of so many points of perfection it is difficult to select any in particular for commendation, but the marble chimney- pieces from the Wallace Collection, the old Persian panelling, and the wrought-iron balusters of the staircase are specially striking.
