Circa 1930s/40s

A beautifully coloured and patinated early 12″ oak Table Lamp from the Kilburn workshops of Robert ‘Mouseman’ Thompson. Hand tooled all over with the typical leaf forms carved to the corners of the base, triangulation to the top, and  a large finely detailed mouse carved in high relief to one facet of the tapering octagonally carved central column. Darker fumed from new it  presents with a natural very rich dark plummy brown colour. A former owner looks to have carved the initials FSR to one side of the  base area and there are a couple of old small corner chips to the base, which we’ve taken account of in our very competitive pricing for the piece.

We can rewire  the lamp for clients if they wish.

A real gem of a find, we’ve not seen a Mouseman Cheeseboard this large size before. Adzed top surface, a beautifully carved mouse and a very high curved  and hook ended handle only usually seen on the earliest 30s/40s made cheeseboards. Darker fumed from new, a wax aplication has revealed an intense chestnut brown colour tone.  Excellent condition with just the slightest traces of minor marks on the board.

It is shown photographed next to a standard sized cheeseboard in the image gallery below.
