Circa 1960. Original carved oak Mouseman Thomson book rack. The simple rack with a splat base and back on rounded supports, characteristic carved mouse signature. In perfect condition.
The Yorkshire Critter Carvers comprise of over 40 craftsmen, working from the 1940s to the present day, who made oak furniture inspired by Robert “Mouseman” Thompson of Kilburn, Yorkshire. Many of these Critter Carvers trained in Thompson’s Kilburn workshop before setting up their own craft shops. Using the same native oak material, traditional hand tools and traditional techniques (especially adzed surfaces) as utilised by “Mouseman” Thompson, each craftsman created a signature carved ‘critter’ such as an animal/bird (squirrel, beaver or woodpecker, e.g. “Woodpeckerman”, “Squirrelman” or “Beaverman”), acorn or human icon (e.g. “Knightman” or “Vikingman”) to decorate and act as a signature to identify their own pieces. The historical significance of Mouseman Thompson’s designs and style, the fine traditional craftmanship, functional nature and beauty of Yorkshire Critter Carver’s oak furniture is enduring, and is reflected in the continued demand and robust prices for these items.

Georgian Antiques
Georgian Antiques was founded in 1978 by John Dixon's brother Padriac in a small shop at Jocks Lodge, Meadowbank in Edinburgh, with John joining the business after finishing college in 1981. The business grew so rapidly, they couldn't keep up with their inventory needs. Their goal has been to create a one-stop-shop where designers can complete an entire project from antique lighting to antique furniture to accessories. Scotland's largest antiques warehouse is located in a converted whiskey bond in historic Leith Edinburgh. With 50,000sq ft over five floors we offer a wide range of quality Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian furniture, as well as continental and small decorative items. Our stock is constantly changing.
