Leighton
House
Leighton House was the home of Frederic, Lord Leighton, (1830
ø 1896). The house was built between 1864 and 1879 to designs
by George Aitchinson and is the expression of Leighton's vision
of a private palace devoted to art. The Arab Hall is the centerpiece,
evoking the Arabian Nights, this opulent fantasy extends throughout
the entire house with works by William de Morgan and Edward
Burne-Jones.
