Robert Mouseman Thompson Horseshoe Ashtray - 1950/1960's

Price: £ Sold

Description: A later example of a well used and very beautifully carved horseshoe ashtray, with a large short tailed trademark mouse. This carved horseshoe ashtray is not produced commercially today. Similar examples are often available where a metal horseshoe has been pinned to the base, however this is a better example as it is carved out of a single piece of oak.  It has been well used which adds to its character and has the characteristic golden 'aged' colour of fumed and waxed oak. Dimensions 12.5cm x 12.5cm x 4.5cm.
