New in and market fresh from a private family collection, photographed as purchased and unloaded from our van.
An excellent example of an early soid oak octagonal Occasional / Coffee Table by Robert ‘Mouseman’ Thompson of Kilburn, North Yorkshire. Features an adzed single plank top with an incised crest inscribed in latin ‘qoud honestum utile’ which translates to ‘that which is designed attractively to perform a use’. The top is supported on an adzed cruciform pedestal leg base with crossed feet and a signature mouse to one leading edge and natural burrs in the oak to some of the legs.
Well used but wonderfully looked after all its life with good colour and patina, originally purchased by the former owners grandparents who lived close to Kilburn and knew Robert personally. It requires nothing more than a very gentle and sympathetic clean and re-wax to the top and pedestal leg to remove the expected usage marks. One of a number of other early and later pieces privately purchased directly from the original owning family.
WOW…. a simply stunning bespoke commissioned one-off Robert ‘Mouseman’ Thompson Carved Oak Phoenix, carved by Stan Dodd’s, complete with original correspondence to and from Robert Thompson’s and original invoice. Ordered June 1970, finished and invoiced in November 1971. Beautifully observed, the phoenix with curved outstretched wings is rising from a flaming nest, Stan’s signature mouse running through the flames on top of the nest.
It’s never previously been offered to the market, with a wonderful back story as to why it was commissioned. The original owners property was called Phoenix Cottage, having been re-named as such as it had been rebuilt having been badly damaged by a V1 rocket in WW2. The carving, and an earlier 1950s made hall /console table, were later bequethed to their friends and next door neighbours, from whom we have purchased both pieces privately. Dry stored in recent years it was very dry and dusty, but fully intact with no damage or repairs, just the expected wear to the baize lining on the base from being out on display at Phoenix Cottage. Following a sympathetic clean and a clear re-wax it now presents in immaculate condition.
It has everything a serious Mouseman carving collector could want…. it’s genuinely a one-off bespoke piece, full provenance, immaculate condition, carved by Stan Dodds.
An excellent ‘Mouseman’ Robert Thompson Oak Side / Hall Table featuring a single planked adzed top supported on two baluster octagonally carved legs and feet, joined by an adzed lower stretcher. Robert’s trademark mouse is carved prominently to one leg.
Superb condition with no staining, wax polished with a beautiful rich warm deeper fumed colour.
An excellent pair of the rare and highly sought after Robert ‘Mouseman’ Thompson Squirrel Carved Oak Bookends. The squirrels beautifully observed and carved sat eating acorn nuts. Trademark mice are carved running along the tops of each bookend.
Privately sourced, in excellent overall condition and a rich fumed and aged colour, just the tiniest of nibbles on the ear tip of one squirrel which is shown in the image gallery below. It’s rare to find them in such good condition as they are prone to damage, especially around the ears which commonly snap off if the pieces are dropped or knocked over.
