‘Kingpost’, Adzed Yorkshire Oak 4’ Sideboard

July 12, 2003 No Comments

Stock ref: DS1162

Circa late 40s / 50s

Beatifully aged and patinated solid English oak  sideboard, in a size suited to rooms of modest size, from the workshops of Kingpost Woodwork who traded until the late 50s in the Harrogate district. Rectangular form with a fox tongue jointed three
plank top with two drawers over  two  shelved cupboards, wrought iron fittings and a tongue and grooved back panel. It features extensive adzing and exposed dowel pinning  to the top, legs, individual side and front inlaid panels and drawer
fronts, all features usually associated with the eariest period of Mouseman craftsmanship. The trademark Kingpost roof beam signature is carved in relief onto an upper side panel.

It presents in wonderful condition with a lovely depth of colour and aged patina. The top is in super condition just  the expected slight scatching and very feint traces of old markings, barely discernible in the images below. The right hand drawer
has previously been partitioned but these have been removed leaving the small original screw holes in the drawer base. The interior is very clean having always been protected with lining paper.

Size: 118(w) x 49(d) x 88.5(h)

A Kingpost 5′ dropleaf gateleg table from the same ownership is also available – see DS1163

July 10, 2003 No Comments

Stock ref: DS1195

Circa mid 70s

A tooled and adzed Squirrelman fruitbowl  from Wilf Hutchinson that presents with a wonderful  rich colour and patina. The fruitbowl has been used  as is evidenced by the slightly darker patches in the bowl, caused by the fruit acids reacting
with the tannins in the oak, however there is no damage or evidence of repair. His trademark squirrel is carved centrally in the bowl. Privately acquired from the estate of a collector.

July 10, 2003 No Comments

Stock ref: DS1191

Circa mid 70s

A wonderful pristine example of  the   fruitbowl  with the signature mouse carved centrally that was introduced in the early 1960s. Never used as a fruitbowl  it was in original condition on acquisition with no staining or damage but
very dry. A fresh application of wax has really enhanced the colour, graining and patination of the adzed and tooled wood.

Stock ref: DS1187

Circa early 1960s

An early example of a Mouseman cheeseboard with the mouse carved onto the handle.  Adzed with wonderful quarter sawn figuring on the platter and a particularly dinstinctive carved and very high backed mouse on the handle.  The board has been
used as intended so features some fine cut marks but has now been waxed and presents with a superb deep honey colour and patina which accentuates the medullary ray graining in the oak.

Don ‘Foxman’ Craven, Oak Pin Dish

July 10, 2003 No Comments

Stock ref: DS1202

Circa 1960s / early 70s

Unusual and superbly executed pin dish by the original Foxman –  Don Craven. Beautifully grained quater sawn oak, subtly adzed and of considerably larger size than a Mouseman pin dish, it features a superbly detailed seated fox. No damage or staining
it is in pristine condition and a rich aged honey colour, only ever  a display piece.  Don’s solo work is often confused with Malcolm Foxman Pipes but  his work pre-dates Malcolm’s and, were space permits, always features a fully carved
seated fox with a bushy tail. Malcolm took on the fox signature in 1981 and usually carves a foxes face in high or low relief.

Peter ‘Rabbitman’ Heap, Oak 3’ Rectangular Coffee Table

June 29, 2003 No Comments

Stock ref: DS1199

Circa 1985

It’s exceptionally rare to find a coffee table that is in such pristine original condition as this example, made by the ex Mouseman craftsman Peter Heap who had his own  workshop in Wetwang near Drifffield in the 70s and 80s. Given originally in
the mid 80’s as a retirement present to a recently deceased collector of the Yorkshire craftsmens work, it has clearly been most carefully used and loved  all it’s life. It genuinely is in as good a condition as the day it was made nearly 30 years
ago, i can’t find an unnatural mark or stain on it.  The  3′ single plank top is finished smooth, well grained and of rectangular form, standing on typical  refectory style carved baluster legs with a central stretcher. Peter’s trademark
rabbit is carved in high relief on one of the legs. Waxed and a superb natural honey colour that  will deepen further with age.

Size: 91.3(w) x 36(d) x 45.5(h)
