Circa 1960s
A very good example of the earlier made and comfortable Robert ‘Mouseman’ Thompson Oak Smoking Chair with it’s characteristic slung aniline cow hide back and hide cushioned seat set into the adzed oak framework. A trademark mouse carved in high relief to the front leg. Modern made examples are taller and not adzed.
Being untreated these aniline cow hide backs naturally acquire marks and stains over the years of usage, adding to the patina of the piece. Offered as purchased and presented in the image gallery below or in excellent refurbished condition with the frame cleaned and the leather conditioned. Solid framework with the expected minor spalsh marking to the frame, minor expected marking to the slung cow hide back and a 3 inch section of stiching on the underside of the cushion would benefit from re-stitching.
Originally one of a matched pair, see item DS1869 which has been cleaned and re-waxed, the hide conditioned.

Circa 1960s/1970s
An excellent example of a 6 ” shallow oak bowl from Robert Mouseman Thompson. These pieces were sold originally as Pipe Bowls, the raised centre section would have been used for knocking the ash out of pipes. Pipes are no longer fashionable and these bowls have not been made for many years, replaced instead by the 6″ nut dish. Good examples are now keenly sought after by collectors as they are rare to market but remain very useful and decorative bowls. Adzed exterior, smooth turned interior with a trademark mouse carved on the outer side.
Excellent condition and colour, no evidence of use for pipe ash.
Size: 15(dia) x 3.5(h)cm
