Likely manufactured at the same time as the preceding dining room table for delivery to the Arthur Hill mansion, Saginaw, MI. Arthur Hill was a Michigan and Minnesota lumber baron in the last half of the 19th c. and was both a city father and Mayor of Saginaw, MI. He served on the Board of Regents for the University of Michigan and was one of their major benefactors. He married Aroline Haddock Briggs Hill in 1869 and this table was in the dining room of the Arthur Hill mansion (designed in 1885 and furnished in 1887) until Hill's second wife, Louise Grout Hill (whom he married in 1898) gifted it (along with the table in the preceding lot) to Cecelia C. Tallman (longtime friend and wife of the Saginaw Police Chief) prior to her move to California - where she lived until her death in 1969. Mrs. Tallman was the great grandmother of current consignor.
