EARLY ROBERT MOUSEMAN THOMPSON TEA TRAY WITH 2 SIGNATURE MICE - 1940s

A superb, rare, hand carved Robert Mouseman Thompson tea tray, dating to the 1940s. It has 2 well carved early signature mice either end of the tray. It is a beautiful dark oak colour with wonderful patina that you just can't get with the more contemporary tea trays. It has also been hand adzed, which really catches the light. It is in good condition with just a small nick to the bottom (see picture) and some light wear consistent with the age of the piece, which is to be expected as it is approximately 80 years old and almost officially antique. These early Mouseman pieces are rare, so are always very highly sought after. It will be very carefully packaged and sent 'Special Delivery' with the Royal Mail. Buyers are welcome to collect, I live just a few miles north of Durham.

I have quite a few Mouseman pieces for sale, including a double bed, an early pair of bookends, and an early stool - please see my other items.
