Robert (Mouseman) Thompson

I have another purchase to add to my Mouseman collection! It arrived today and I am so happy with it. The traditional book trough is dated to the 1930s. 



Now all I need to so is fill it with some decorative leather bindings! 



I am very excited for the next Decorative Arts sale at Lyon and Turnbull in April-they have a refectory table by the Mouseman and I just need to find £3,000-5,000 to buy it!



No matter how big or small the piece of craftsmanship the little mouse stands proud in the design. The arts and crafts style pieces are carved perfectly (usually in oak) and have individual character in each piece. 

My collection is growing and I am excited to see what else I can pick up!
