1860’s London, Leighton extended and
embellished it over the next 30 years.
He transformed his home, filling it with
fascinating collections of fine and decorative art. The exotic Arab Hall, lined with Islamic tiles that Leighton collected during his travels in the Middle East, brought
new fame to the building, as his reputation
grew. Daniel Robbins, curator, explores Leighton’s motivations in lavishing such attention on his studio-house.
