Circa 1970’s

Refectory style coffee table, its older age indicated by the fact that the adzed top is from a single plank of oak. Modern tops are now usually made from two jointed and glued planks, reducing the natural warpage that occurs as the seasoned oak dries
and hardens with age. The top is supported by two large carved octagonal legs, joined by a single chamfered stretcher. A wonderfully large and prominent mouse is carved in high relief on one of the legs.

It is presented in superb condition, with just a few minor marks to the top commensurate with normal use, and the expected age related joint shrinkage and light warpage to the top. Waxed, not varnished, it is a lovely golden colour with beautiful graining.
Size: 91.5(w) x 36(d) x 45.5(h) cm

Circa 1960’s

Refectory style coffee table, it’s older age indicated by the fact that the adzed top is from a single plank of oak. Modern tops are now usually made from 2 jointed and glued planks, keeping production costs down, and reducing the natural warpage
that occurs as the seasoned oak dries and hardens with age. The top is supported by 2 large carved octagonal legs, joined by a single chamfered stretcher. A wonderfully large and prominent mouse is carved in high relief on one of the legs.

It is in superb condition, free from the usual staining so often found on older pieces. Waxed, not varnished, it is a lovely golden colour with beautiful graining.

Circa 1930

Eagerly sought after by collectors, very early Mouseman bowls just don’t come any better than this.

Deeper than most early (and modern !) bowls at 3” and hand tooled to the inside and outside. A characteristically early and beautifully carved large, high backed mouse, with slim neck and prominent head to the outer side of the bowl. Clearly lovingly
cared for, the wood has developed a stunning deep chestnut brown patina. The wood colour is the combined result of original fuming with ammonia, maturation of the oak, regular waxing and natural usage.No damage or evidence of any repair.

Production of fruit bowls with the mouse on the outer side continued until the late 1950’s

Size: 24.5 (dia incl mouse) x 7.5(h) cm

Circa 1960’s

Very rare to the vintage/antique market. Lovely hand carved octagonal base with a wonderfully plump and detailed mouse running around the base. The carved octagonal upright leads to a octagonal top. Stunning deep honey patina which accentuates the graining
of the oak. There is some minor ring marking to the top but this is entirely in line with its intended use as a plant stand.

The early history of the piece is unknown but I am advised it was bought as a vintage piece in 1987 and presented as a retirement gift to the last owners father.There is evidence of a small plaque having been in place previously on the base but the pin
holes have been filled, are very well blended and unnoticeable from a few inches away.

Size: 31(dia)base, 22 (dia) top x 91.5(h) cm
