Yorkshire Critter Miniature Refectory Coffee Table
Circa 1960. Handmade Yorkshire Critter Carver neat-sized miniature refectory coffee table. The adzed rectangular top with rounded corners in quarter-cut figured oak with a beautiful colour and patina is supported on classical Yorkshire octagonal and square supports above a rectangular stretcher on shaped plinths.
48cm H, 93cm W, 43cm D
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 actually trained in Thompson’s Kilburn workshop before setting up their own craft shops. Using the same oak material, traditional hand tools and traditional techniques (especially adzed surfaces) as Mouseman Thompson, each craftsman created a signature carved ‘critter’ such as an animal (woodpecker, squirrel or beaver, i.e. Woodpeckerman, Squirrelman or Beaverman), acorn or human icon (e.g. Knight or Viking) to decorate and act as a signature and identify their oak pieces. The historical significance of Mouseman Thompson’s designs and style, the fine 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.
