ROBERT MOUSEMAN THOMPSON RARE EARLY BURR OAK FULLY ADZED SIDEBOARD

A rare Mouseman Burr Oak Sideboard, with an adzed rectangular top below a period carved ribbon back rail, above three graduated central drawers flanked by two cupboard doors with burr oak panels with a further three graduated smaller drawers to each side, with turned oak handles and wrought iron hinges and latches, raised on octagonal block feet, carved with high relief trademark mouse to left hand canted corner

Width: 183cm       Depth: 46cm       Height: 84cm

This design was used by Robert Thompson in his own home and has been re-produced in modern varieties. However, to get a period piece with 16 burr oak panels and ribbon carved details to upstand, is quite unusual and Ingnet Antiques are delighted to offer this original example to the collectors market.

To our knowledge, the last similar example on the market of the same design, was bought by us in 2011 in Gloucestershire.

Provenance: This piece was specially commissioned for Darras Hall, Ponteland in 1937.
