Robert Mouseman Thompson 15 1/2″ Burr Oak Cow Stool, 1930s

Stock ref: DS3001

Circa 1930s

An excellent example of an early three legged cow stool with wonderful burr figuring to the 2″ thick seat, standing on three thick splayed and tapered octagonally carved legs. Signature mouse carving to one leg as was usual on these very early stools. Adzed and tooled to the whole piece, including the underside, which again was usual before Robert Thompson purchased a planing machine in the late 1930s.

Beautiful rich colour and patina. Covered in non original thick varnish on acquisition, this has been sympathetically removed and the stool re-polished with wax in our workshop.

Size: 49(w) x 42(d) x 39.5(h)cm. 5cm thick top.
