The Contents of Kirkton House

Sale number: 546&nbsp; A highlight of our 2018 Autumn season was The Contents of Kirkton House – a remarkable collection focused on the art and design of the late 19th and early 20th centuries including beautiful examples of Gothic Revival, Aestheticism and Arts &amp; Crafts works of art presented alongside a collection of British art, featuring a fine collection of etchings.Kirkton House sits to the south of Montrose with views down to the Montrose Basin and over to the Grampians. &nbsp;It was built in 1804 as a manse for the nearby Craig Church. &nbsp;The Craig estate had been purchased in the late 18th century by Hercules Ross, a close friend of Lord Nelson, and a new neo-Gothick castle, designed by Richard Crichton, a pupil of John and Robert Adam, was complimented by a new church and manse. &nbsp;The Regency manse, with its turrets and castellation, was extended with wings to the east and west in the mid-1800s. It is now a handsome two storey home restored to its former glory by the current owners over the last 15 years. &nbsp;The collection follows the arc of 19th century design history and includes works representative of the Gothic Revival, Aestheticism and the Arts &amp; Crafts. Amassed over several decades, many of the works have been purchased in London from leading establishments such as <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.thefineartsociety.com/">The Fine Art Society</a>, The Royal Exchange Gallery and renowned Arts &amp; Crafts dealer Paul Reeves.&nbsp;
