Circa 1930s

A superb example of the extremely popular early made 9″ diameter solid oak fruitbowl by Robert Thompson, the ‘Mouseman’ of Kilburn. A particularly thick sided bowl, tooled all over  with a wonderful 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: 23(dia) x 7.5(h)cm
