Circa 1930s/40s

An excellent example of the earlier made Robert ‘Mouseman’ Thompson Oak Cheeseboard which features a large mouse carved to the platter and the taller curved handle. To reduce the risk of handle breakage  the mouse carving was moved in around 1960 onto the handle neck area to help strengthen it. Over the subsequent decades, as thinner oak was used, the handle and mouse carving height was also reduced.

Wonderful aged patina and darker fumed colour to the wood, some minor knife cuts on the board to evidence earlier usage as originally intended.

Size: 37(l) x 18(w) x 4.5(h)cm
