Note: Margaret Thomson Wilson attended Glasgow School of Art where she met fellow art student James Hamilton Mackenzie (1875-1826); the pair married in 1907 and set up a home and studio at 24 Sandyford Place. They travelled to Italy to paint and exhibited at the RSA, RGIFA and RSW. Margaret also designed jewellery, embroidery, and metalwork. One of her best-known works is a standing clock, similar to the present lot, and held by Glasgow Museums (Collection, ID Number E.2003.2)
