Circa late 1940s/50s

A superb example of the earlier made solid oak book trough from Robert Thompson the ‘Mouseman’ of Kilburn, North Yorkshire. Adzed sides, book ledge and rear in line with earlier manufacturing practice, as over the subsequent decades, there has been less adzing on these popular pieces. Excellent signature ,ouse carved to one side edge.

Presents in superb condition after we’ve stripped off a layer of varnish applied by a previous owner which, whilst preserving the piece from staining, was doing nothing for its aesthetic appeal. Now carefully cleaned and re-waxed it presents beautifully in a lovely warm aged medium fumed colour.

Size: 45.5(w) x 20.5(d) x 20.5(h)cm
