No. 34 Hill Street, Berkeley Square, was remodelled and redecorated under Lutyens’s supervision into one of Mayfair’s finest town houses of its size, notably featuring marble chimney-pieces from the Wallace Collection, old Persian panelling and a staircase with striking wrought-iron balusters.

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.
