Stock ref: DS2971
Circa 1930s/40s
An excellent example of the extremely popular earlier made 9 ½″ diameter solid oak Fruitbowl by Robert Thompson, the ‘Mouseman’ of Kilburn. Tooled all over with a neat and compact signature mouse carved to the exterior side of the bowl. From about 1960 the bowls have been larger but shallower, and the mice have been carved to the centre of the bowl.
Excellent condition and patina with lovely darker fumes aged colour, no wood splits or repairs, just the usual expected minor fruit acid marking in the bowl from usage, adding to the character and patina of these sought after bowls.
Size: 24(dia) x 7(h)cm
