Margaret Gilmour (1863–1942) was a Scottish metalworker and designer known for her distinctive contributions to the Arts and Crafts movement in Scotland. Based in Glasgow, she worked closely with her husband, the architect and designer James Gilmour, and together they created a wide range of hand-crafted domestic metalwork. Margaret Gilmour specialized in repoussé copper and brass pieces, often with intricate detailing and naturalistic or symbolic motifs. Her work reflects the influence of the Glasgow Style, combining precise craftsmanship with elegant, stylized decoration. She produced items such as mirror frames, boxes, trays, and decorative panels, all marked by a refined sense of composition and surface treatment. Gilmour's work was exhibited alongside that of other leading Scottish designers and was part of a wider movement that sought to elevate everyday objects through the ideals of craftsmanship, beauty, and utility. Today, her work is recognized for its individuality and its place within the broader history of Arts and Crafts metalwork in Britain.
