Alex Martin quoted £6.7.6d and was paid on 8th December 1905.
As a result of financial and business pressures in 1903 Walter Blackie had curtailed the number of items of furniture needed for The Hill House. In 1905 he recalled Mackintosh and commissioned a number of extra pieces to complete the furnishing of the drawing room. Among them was this table which demonstrates a then favourite motif of Mackintosh's, the twinning of legs and stretchers to make a more subtle and complex composition. This motif had been regularly used at Hous'hill for Miss Cranston in 1904 (see Lot 44) and was also used on chairs for The Hill House drawing room in 1905.
