One of the manufacturers is Cassina, this is what their website says about the piece.

"All the models in the Cassina collection, by merit of their artistic content and particular creative character, are protected by copyright, a legal institution that is universally recognised and safeguarded; legal protection is assured for the whole life-span of the author and for 70 years after his/her death (or the death of the last surviving co-author)"

Surely this does not mean it is illegal to sell a Hill House replica?

Hello, does anyone know how to tell if a Mackintosh Hill House chair by Charles Rennie is genuine?

Well there are a few different manufacturers with some still being made today and prices vary. It could be marked on the inside near the seat.

Difficult to say if it's value from the image but i'd expect it to be in mint condition and well made

Yes, there are pieces like this still made today. I have seen various manufacturers offering "Hill House" on the Internet. I think there is one manufacturer who say they produce with license from Mackintosh(?). Still, I have seen newly made replicas on the Internet, cheapest ones seems to be 400 dollars. So even though it is a newly made replica, 100 pounds seems to be a good price if the piece is in "mint condition"?
Thanks for your answers, very valuable for me.

we will need to see it before we can..say...

Thank you for quick reply. Yes, of course, sorry. Also wondering, if there are a signature on a piece like this, where do you find it?
I am a bit vary since I could get this chair to around 100 pounds, which sounds very cheap to me.

Is that it,...we are not Magicians....if it is up for sale at an auction house,they must be some more info with it, .e.g. who the artist is,..what the medium is,....what,s the size of it,....unless there is someone on here who has actually seen this picture before....then the chances of finding out who did it....are pretty slim....

Not much info really, http://auctionet.com/sv/59484-okand-konstnar-blomsterstilleben-troligen-england-sent-1800-tal (swedish)

Thanks for the answers, I like the piece and since it´s not very valuable I think I´ll keep it.

Sorry for the late reply. The painting belongs to a friend of mine. After he could describe it better, I can confirm it is a print.
Thx for your replies anyways!
