Four adjustable shelves and a signature mouse carved prominently to the leading edge one of the  side panels.

Circa 1980s

An excellent example of  a  solid oak Hall or Serving Table  from the renowned ex Mouseman  and ‘Yorkshire Critters’ craftsman Sid Pollard.  In keeping with the craftsmanship of early Mouseman  pieces the piece is extensively adzed to all visible areas, including the  drawer fronts and individual inlaid panelling.  The whole piece is complimented  by the use of traditional wrought iron fittings.

Wonderful condition, finished in a durable wax over polyurethane finish, light minor scratching on the lower shelf.

Superb value for such craftsmanship.

Sid Pollard lived in Bagby, near Thirsk, and was one of Robert Thompson’s early apprentices, together with his brother. His solo work is almost always unmarked, preferring to let his craftsmanship speak for itself. After leaving Thompson’s he combined his solo work with the family building firm, Pollard Builders. His solo work dates from the  late 40’s through to his death in the early 1990s.

A wonderful example of the early sought after ‘Mouseman’ Robert Thompson Oak Napkin Ring. These are distinguished from the more modern 2″ / 5cm sized items by being smaller in height and diameter, the difference shown in two of the images in the gallery below.

Wonderful mouse carving and aged colour, a feint hairline and edge chip to the body of the Napkin Ring.

One of two we have, the other  in perfect condition  so we are offering them individually and pricing them accordingly.
