An armchair and standard lamp have been in the Mackintosh-designed living room at The Hill House, run by the NTS, for no less than 110 years.

They have been on loan to the charity, but the Trust are looking to purchase the furniture to keep it at Hill House in the future.

Sarah Cuthbert-Kerr, press officer for National Trust for Scotland, said: “We are really pleased to say that we met our fundraising target.

“We are just about to start negotiating with the current owners to try and keep the furniture at Hill House.” The charity raised £100,000 in funding.

The Art Fund, The Monument Trust and the National Museums Scotland National Fund for Acquisitions funded £75,000.

The rest of the money was raised by public donation after NTS appealed for help last November.

In a letter to Trust members at that time, Hill House Property Manager Lorna Hepburn said: “The drawing room where these items were lovingly placed 110 years ago is a favourite area for visitors and is definitely the most important interior space at the Hill House.

“The armchair and standard lamp are an integral part of the design of this room and add to the overall 'wow’ factor for visitors.” The Hill House is Mackintosh’s only domestic commission that members of the public can visit.

Built for the Glasgow publisher, Walter Blackie and his family between 1902 and 1904, this much-loved family home stands as a reminder of how enabling the relationship between family life and world-class architecture can be.

Following last year’s devastating fire at Glasgow School of Art, interest in Mackintosh’s work has peaked.

The century-old library designed by Mackintosh was destroyed in the blaze last May. Firefighters raced in and out of the burning school to rescue other irreplaceable items of work and furniture designed by the Glasgow-born architect.
