The seat base with two open stick/umbrella holders, a lift up seat with compartments inside and a panelled front and sides, standing on octagonally carved feet. A trademark mouse carved beautifully in high relief  to the front upright.

Superb condition, cleaned of minor paint spashing and re-waxed with deep chestnut brown darker fumed colour tones.

Provenance: commissioned for Percy Cartwright’s sister & hence by family/relative decent. ( Percy(1900-1988) married Robert Thompson’s only child, Elsie(1906-1994), their children and grandchildren in turn taking over the family business which continues today.)
