A really rare bespoke Robert 'Mouseman' Thompson boardroom armchair. There are two of these armchairs in stock that are being sold individually. The other armchair is almost identical to this one. The signature mouse has been carved on the right-hand side leg on each chair.
 
The armchair is part of a larger set. There are 8 chairs in total. They are designed to look like 1930s Mouseman chairs with two mouse tails on the back panels of each chair. But they were actually made in the 1950s / 1960s. 
 
It is a very substantial, heavy, solid armchair. The back panel and the panel seat are fully adzed, which is quite striking as the rippled oak really reflects the light beautifully. 
 
These chairs are bespoke and would have been commissioned for use in a boardroom. One was taken to Diane Sinnott (one of the UKs leading experts on Mouseman) to get her opinion. She said she has only seen one other set, which was sold by Tennants Auctioneers in 2020, so they are really quite rare. 
 
The other chairs are available in the online shop if buyers would like the whole set. There are 6 chairs that have a seat height suitable for use as dining chairs, desk or office chairs. The two armchairs would be too large to fit under some dining tables due to the height of the arms. They are bigger than the later Mouseman armchairs.
 
Regarding condition, it is excellent with no damage. It has been professionally polished and waxed, so is looking at its best. The colour of the oak is absolutely gorgeous.
 
The full height of the chair measures 114 cm. The seat height measures 45.5 cm. The full width is 62 cm including the arms. The depth is 53 cm.
