Circa 1980s

A highly sought after Robert ‘Mouseman’ Thompson carved oak Yorkshire rose wall plaque, carved by their renowned master carver Stan Dodds.

Beautifully carved in relief with signature mouse carving.

Medium fumed and clear waxed, it presents in immaculate condition with no evidence of any stains, chips or other losses.

Stan worked at Robert Thompson’s from 1942 until retirement in 1994, but continued to produce items with his own woodpecker signature in his home workshop, and for other makers most notably Wilf and Trevor Hutchinson at Squirrel Furniture up until his death.

1932

An unusual and unique bespoke commissioned desk tidy / pen tray by Robert ‘Mouseman’ Thompson of Kilburn. Tooled and initialled JTD, dated 1932. Of rectangular stepped form, carved from a block of solid oak, the rear steps having cut out pen rests. An early trademark mouse signature sits prominently on the top, its tail carved draping over the side edge.

Excellent condition and darker fumed rich colour…… a wonderful piece for serious collectors.

Sadly we don’t know its history.

Circa 1970s/80s

Excellent example of the popular Robert ‘Mouseman’ Thompson solid oak X framed stool with traditional slung aniline hide seat. We just love the fluid curved lines of the twin pegged legs joined by stretchers. A signature mouse is carved to one lower leg.

Tight seat frame joints which have been cleaned and wax polished. Original aniline hide seat with the expected minor usage marks. It has been conditioned and polished.

Circa 1980s

Known originally and still sold  new by Robert Thompson’s as a ‘Smoking Chair’, albeit in a different size, these cow hide slung and hide cushioned chairs are wonderfully comfortable to lounge and relax in.

This example presents in wonderful original condition and is in the earlier made height of 102 cm, they are now 112cm. Mouseman collectors will appreciate that the hide used  on the back is a very thick untreated aniline hide which does mark easily and deepen in colour with age. The hide cushion is also in very good original and useable condition with no major stains, tears or loose stitching. One side in particular looks to have hardly ever been used. Both have been photographed in the enclosed image gallery. A signature mouse  is carved prominently to the front leg. The wooden frame has been cleaned and wax polished, the cow hide cleaned and conditioned in our workshop.
