Early Robert 'Mouseman' Thompson Cheeseboard - (1940/1950's)

Price: £Sold

Description: An early example of the very beautiful carved solid oak cheeseboard, with a 'plump' and angular trademark mouse on the board. The mouse with high back and sitting on the board, rather than the handle, is very indicative of the mouseman early period. Colour and patina are excellent with a waxed finish. Some usage marks on the board. This shape is the standard oval design.  Dimensions are height 4.5cm, length 37cm, width 16cm.
