Circa 1960s / early 70s

Rare to find as they have always been  bespoke commission made, rarer still to find in such excellent condition. This is one of two that we have recently acquired.   The adzed table top is constructed from  two 2″ thick planks of heavily grained oak and is  3′ 2″ in length of concave shaped oblong form. A signature mouse is carved prominently to the middle side edge of the table top.  It stands on 4 splayed and tapering octagonally carved legs  which are visibly jointed through the top of the table.  Presents in excellent original condition with a warn nutty brown colour.
