Having a height of 31", a width and length of 48". Eight table leaves having widths of 12" each. Includes two table pads. Retains original Phoenix Furniture Company label on the underside stating that the table was custom ordered for Arthur Hill, 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 chairs in the forthcoming 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. On the underside of the table is a Phoenix Furniture Company label that, until this example, was thought to have only been used in the 1870`s. The label states in cursive ink: "Arthur Hill, Saginaw City" above the Phoenix Furniture Company, Grand Rapids, MI printing.品相报告: Very good condition. One chip to the corner of the table top and one chip at the corner of the apron. Light surface wear due to age and use.
