Robert Mouseman 6′ Dining Table and Set of 6 Leather Dining Chairs

About the Item

A beautiful set of Mouseman furniture – an adzed oak 6ft refectory table, with rectangular planked top raised on twin octagonal end supports on sledge feet united by a floor stretcher carved with fat mouse signature, and accompanied with six oak dining chairs, Circa 1960-70, adzed paneled back, upholstered in navy blue leather with studded band, each octagonal front support is carved with mouse signatures, by the workshop of Robert Thompson, Kilburn Robert (Mouseman) Thompson (7 May 1876 – 8 December 1955), was also known as ‘Mousey’ Thompson, who was a British furniture maker. He was born and lived in Kilburn, North Yorkshire England, where he set up a business manufacturing oak furniture, which featured a carved mouse on almost every piece. These sets are exceptionally well made pieces of famous name furniture, that only get better with age. It is claimed that the mouse motif supposedly came about accidentally in 1919 following a conversation about “being as poor as a church mouse”, which took place between Thompson and one of his colleagues during the carving of a cornice for a screen. This chance remark led to him carving a mouse which has since remained part of his work from this point onwards.
