Mouseman and the Yorkshire Critters: an oak two-tier drinks or serving trolley by the ex-Mouseman craftsman Peter 'Rabbitman' Heap (1945-2022) - of Wetwang, North Yorkshire, with his signature rabbit carved to the top edge, the finely crafted trolley with prominent deep adze patterning to all the surfaces, later castors fitted to the supports. (LWH 86 x 39 x 70cm) * Peter Heap served his apprenticeship at Robert 'Mouseman' Thompson's workshop in Kilburn Yorkshire in the 1950s and continued working there until the 1970s, when he embarked on his own career as an oak furniture maker under the name 'Oak Rabbit Crafts' in Wetwang, near Driffield in North Yorkshire. The workshop occupied the old butcher's shop in the town until 1998, when it sadly closed.

Mouseman and the Yorkshire Critters: a mid-oak carved wall plaque by Martin 'Lizardman' Dutton (1921-2009) - carved as a Prince of Wales feathers, the base carved with his lizard signature, 23.25 x 24cm. * Martin Dutton was born deaf in Kirby Misperton, Yorkshire in 1921. He started his career as an apprentice to Robert 'Mouseman' Thompson of Kilburn, becoming the most accomplished of several deaf apprentices employed by the firm at that time and adopting the lizard as his trademark, after briefly using a tortoise on some of his earlier pieces. He set up on his own in York in 1950, making many pieces of furniture for churches and schools as well as one of his best known pieces, a statue of Saint Blaise, the patron saint of woolcombers, for a Bradford catholic church. He married in 1953, moving to Doncaster, where he took employment as senior woodwork master at his old school, the Yorkshire Residential School for the Deaf. After 17 years he moved to Barnsley, where he re-established his career as a woodcarver with firms specialising in church and domestic furniture, later continuing his career in York and Leeds. * Tiny chip to lower right corner of the plaque - this looks very old and has been smoothed with polishing and handling. No other faults.

Robert 'Mouseman' Thompson (1876-1955): a mid-oak shield shaped prize plaque - with bevelled edge and fixed easel back, the front carved with his signature mouse in profile, with an attached plated metal dominos prize medal, 10.2 x 7.6cm. * Robert Thompson was born in 1876, the son of a local joiner and wheelwright in Kilburn, North Yorkshire. He trained as an engineer and completed his apprenticeship, but his passion was for traditional craftsmanship and he decided to follow in his father's footsteps, becoming an extremely skilled craftsman and furniture maker, working in English oak with tools such as the chisel and adze. He expanded his father's family business significantly and by the time he first registered the famous mouse as his signature in the 1930s, his work had become very popular across the country and he was already employing a large team of thirty craftsmen and apprentices. The firm remains a successful business that produces furniture and other smaller hand made wooden objects today, employing the same traditional skills and materials.

Mouseman and the Yorkshire Critters: an oak and leather topped foot stool by Malcolm Pipes, 'Foxman' - of Fox Furniture, Carlton, Husthwaite, Thirsk, North Yorkshire, the nailed, woven tan leather seat raised on waisted, chamfered block supports, united by peripheral stretchers, the top of one support carved with the maker’s fox head signature.

Mouseman and the Yorkshire Critters: a mid-oak bowl by Martin 'Lizardman' Dutton (1921-2009) - the shallow circular bowl with attractive adzed patterning to the interior and exterior, the outside of the rim carved with his lizard signature, standing on a very shallow circular foot, 26.3cm diameter. * Martin Dutton was born deaf in Kirby Misperton, Yorkshire in 1921. He started his career as an apprentice to Robert 'Mouseman' Thompson of Kilburn, becoming the most accomplished of several deaf apprentices employed by the firm at that time and adopting the lizard as his trademark, after briefly using a tortoise on some of his earlier pieces.

After 17 years he moved to Barnsley, where he re-established his career as a woodcarver with firms specialising in church and domestic furniture, later continuing his career in York and Leeds. * The bowl has been used and the interior has some variability to the colour and polish from use as a fruit bowl, including a few pale water marks to the polish. The exterior has slight matting to the polish in places. No cracks, chips or damage to the lizard signature.

CARTIER: A RARE AND COLLECTIBLE LAPIS LAZULI, TURQUOISE AND DIAMOND NOVELTY CLIP BROOCH, CIRCA 1945The stylised scarab, with carved lapis lazuli body, a turquoise cabochon head, highlighted with single-cut diamond eyes and rose-cut feet at the front, mounted in 18K gold and platinum, signed Cartier Paris, with maker's mark, French assay marks, with maker's case, length 2.7cmAn identical brooch is illustrated, page 164, in the catalogue of the Cartier exhibition, L'Art de Cartier at the Musée du Petit Palais between October 1989-January 1990, by Hans Nadelhoffer.The discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922 sparked a cultural phenomenon that extended far beyond archaeology. Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, the Egyptian Revival style swept across the decorative arts, leaving its mark on everything from ceramics and prints to furniture and, most strikingly, jewellery. Museums in Cairo and touring exhibitions in London and Paris further solidified the global fascination, showcasing the dynamic dialogue between age-old myths and contemporary design. The era’s fascination with ancient Egypt found a perfect partner in the materials and aesthetics of Art Deco: platinum, diamonds, onyx, and vibrant enamel brought ancient motifs into the modern age. Designers reimagined scarabs, sphinxes, lotuses, and hieroglyphs through the lens of contemporary luxury, resulting in pieces that were at once reverent and boldly forward-looking. Among the jewellers of the time, Cartier distinguished itself not merely by mimicking Egyptian symbols but by engaging directly with history. Louis Cartier developed a personal passion for Egyptian antiquity, travelling and acquiring genuine archaeological objects from dealers who handled finds from ongoing excavations. Rather than replicate ancient designs, Cartier incorporated these authentic artifacts such as scarabs, faience fragments, and deity heads into his own creations, elevating them with platinum and diamonds to craft sophisticated Art Deco jewels that were both historically rooted and stylistically avant-garde. This approach set Cartier apart, offering clients pieces that were not just inspired by the past but built from it. Egyptian-inspired jewellery is defined by its rich symbolism and vibrant palette. Gold, regarded as the skin of the gods, and silver, seen as divine bone, were used alongside vivid lapis lazuli, symbolising the intense, sky-like blue hair of the deities. Turquoise and green hues evoked the protective qualities of water and the Mediterranean. Jewellers embraced these colours and symbols, often incorporating amulets like the scarab, which in ancient mythology was observed pushing its ball in the desert, as a metaphor for the sun’s journey at dawn and a symbol of rebirth, cosmic order, good luck, and fortune. With the advent of global conflict, significant material shortages and restrictions rapidly transformed the landscape of jewellery production. The scarcity of platinum and diamonds forced designers to adopt innovative solutions without sacrificing the aesthetic values of their style. In response, jewellers began experimenting with advanced alloys and a wider array of semi-precious stones, reinterpreting traditional motifs with alternative materials that mimicked the allure of their predecessors. These necessary adaptations led to creative breakthroughs, ensuring that the symbolic richness and visual impact of their creations endured even in times of adversity. Even after the height of its popularity at the beginning of the 19th century, Egyptomania continued to resonate through popular culture. The mid-to-late 20th century saw waves of renewed interest thanks to cinema, particularly Hollywood films of the 1960s through the 1980s featuring mummies, curses, and pharaohs. These narratives reignited public fascination with Egypt’s mystique, sustaining its influence in both fashion and fine jewellery. From screen to studio, the mythos of ancient Egypt remained a rich source of inspiration and proving that, even decades later, its magic still had the power to captivate and create.  Condition Report: Normal wear, overall in good conditionMaker's mark located on the reverse of the scarab and one of the two pin (horizontal lozenge with what I think is 'P(symbol)M'Double pin clip system - signature located on the reverse of the broochFrench assay marks for platinum and 18K gold located on the reverse of one feet and another eagle's head located on the pinCloses securelyTotal gross weight approx. 16.7g

An carved walnut and beech armchair in the manner of Andrea Brustolon, late 19th/early 20th century, Italian, with a rectangular back and seat, the swept arms carved with reclining putti raised on carved attendant supports, upholstered in gold fabric with brass studded edging,84cm wide73cm deep128cm highAndrea Brustolon (1662–1732) was an influential Venetian furniture maker and sculptor, renowned for his intricate and artistic designs during the Baroque period. He is especially famous for his elaborately carved chairs, which often featured rich, detailed motifs such as acanthus leaves, scrolls, and figures of mythological creatures. Brustolon’s work was highly sought after by the Venetian elite, and his furniture was admired for its combination of craftsmanship and artistic flair. His pieces, particularly his chairs, are now considered masterpieces of 17th and 18th-century furniture design. Examples of his work can be found in numerous museum collections including the Museo Nazionale di Capodimonte, in Naples.Condition Reportknocks and marks throughout associated with age and use, fabric discoloured and lightly marked overall fair order

A pair of large gilt-bronze, bronze, and porphyry candelabra after Jean-Louis Prieur, 19th century, French, each modelled as a pair of cherubs holding a wicker basket, issuing a festooned torch with foliate stems, raised on a circular porphyry pedestal with ormolu laurel-leaf-moulded banding, and a square plinth base,47cm wide48cm deep110cm high (2)Jean-Louis Prieur (c.1732-1795) was a distinguished French sculptor and bronzier, recognised for his mastery in creating gilt-bronze objects during the latter part of the 18th century. Active during the reign of Louis XVI, Prieur is considered one of the key figures bridging rococo and neoclassical styles. He specialised in designing decorative bronze pieces such as candelabra, clock cases and garnitures, often collaborating with renowned Parisian cabinetmakers.Prieur’s work is characterised by its refinement, combining the elegance of the rococo with the emerging clarity and symmetry of neoclassicism. His designs often feature intricate details such as acanthus leaves, floral motifs and classical figures, rendered with exceptional technical skill. His bronzework was in high demand amongst the French aristocracy, and many of his pieces were produced for royal and noble patronage.Notably, Prieur’s candelabra - such as the pair held in the Wallace Collection ('The Wallace Collection: Catalogue of Furniture III', London, 1996, p.1219, pl.239), on which the design for this pair is based - are regarded as some of his most significant works. These pieces exemplify his ability to blend ornamental sophistication with functional design. His innovative approach to bronze-casting and his eye for fine detail cemented his reputation as one of the leading sculptor-bronziers of his time.Prieur’s work represents a pinnacle of French decorative art in the pre-Revolutionary period and his legacy continues to be celebrated in the collections of major museums around the world.

Mudejar cabinet chest in walnut wood with bone inlay. Decorative “Pinyonet” or rice grain technique. Aragonese manufacture from Teruel. Torrellas. 16th century.32 x 48 x 29.5 cm. Magnificent example of Aragonese Mudejar furniture. Structurally, it has two hinged doors and an interior body divided into three sections, the first being a single receptacle without a lid, while the last two house drawers: the central section is divided into two drawers, and the lower one is composed of a single drawer.It retains all its original iron fittings: hinges, handles and the lock, which remains complete but has lost the surround for the keyhole.As is usual in the highest quality examples, this cabinet chest is completely covered with “Pinyonet” decoration. The front of the chest is ornamented with a very architectural design that, in our opinion, creates a sensation of depth on two planes. In the second plane, there is a balustrade with two large arcades decorated on the inside with a border of geometric motifs, which end on both sides with a kind of fountain vase at each end, all supported by amphorae serving as columns, topped by a pomegranate on each side.Superimposed in the foreground of this landscape are two square vases that preside over the decoration. Nine flowers in their maximum splendor are displayed in the vases and there are also two lateral ones that seem to wither towards their pots, with the intention of creating movement in order to, with this format, better combine their forms with the previously mentioned amphorae on each side. A simplified version with some variations of this decoration can be found on the inside of the upper lid.The sides present concentric circles with sinuous garlands. Following the same pattern, we find richer and more elaborate decoration on the inside of the front lid. It should be noted that the lid has old stains, perhaps ink stains, due to the use of the lid as a writing desk.Finally, the decoration on the drawers displays elements that we have already seen adorning the external part of the chest, such as pomegranates, eight-pointed stars typical of the Mudejar style, flowers and sinuous garlands. It is very interesting to read the article recently published in 2023, in “Vegueta. Anuario de la Facultad de Geografía e Historia” by Mª Isabel Álvaro Zamora "El mobiliario en las casas zaragozanas del siglo XVI. Léxico, funcionalidad, ornato y prestigio" (Furniture in 16th century Zaragoza homes. Lexicon, functionality, ornament and prestige), because, as she says in her introduction, she ’studies the furniture existing in 16th century houses, of varied social class and different economic position in Zaragoza [,] based on unpublished documentation from the archive of notarial protocols of Zaragoza (which includes, above all, inventories, as well as partitions of goods, sales, wills, marriage contracts, repossessions and work contracts)’. As it is of specific interest to the piece we present here, we quote an excerpt from section 2.7. dedicated to the “Escritorio, Escribanía, Arquimesa”, included in the section “Muebles de guardar y exhibir” (Furniture for storing and exhibiting) which, as the author indicates, groups together “all those pieces of furniture whose main function was to store one or more types of belongings in their interior or exterior, with the intention of keeping them safe, although some of these pieces of furniture, because of their material, shape and coating, could be decorative objects in themselves”. Such would be the case with this desk. Álvaro Zamora explains that “the documentation consulted in Zaragoza shows that they were almost exclusively owned by the wealthier classes. Thus, we find this type of cabinet chest in the living rooms of the houses of several gentleman merchants. As an example, the “pine cabinet chest with its lock and key” owned by Joan de Palomar, with the “the books of the business, study scissors, a lead inkwell and a dustpan”; the “walnut chest with a base”, that both Miguel Piquer and Miguel de Portas had, the first having documents related to Piquer´s trade and the second having numerous delivery notes, cash, some jewels and silver pieces, a mirror, a prayer book and even a gold tooth cleaner, which also had “two writing desks with two knives and scissors”. They were also found in the study of some notaries, such as Francisco Tobeña, who had “a large pine desk with a red cloth cover” (upholstered). And, exceptionally, we find another one in the house of two well-placed Moors from Villafeliche (Zaragoza), in 1609, a year before their expulsion. [...]However, the most refined and expensive examples were owned by nobles, such as Count Sástago II or the Duke of Villahermosa IV. Of the former, two archives were recorded in the study of his house in Pina de Ebro, one “in which there are two large drawers full of writings”, and another “of walnut carved with inlaid wood”, with documents of the county possessions and lineage kept in their drawers, and writing utensils (“silver and lead inkwells, penknives, silver powder compact and tin salver”). The second had “two small desks of plain wood”, “a small writing desk made of inlaid wood covered in black leather with eight drawers”, there was another one “with eight drawers inside and covered in crimson velvet with golden studs” and another one “made of inlaid wood with eight drawers”, as well as “a chest cabinet covered with green velvet with golden studs and six drawers” and another “of inlaid wood with two drawers”, presumably Spanish furniture that joined other German furniture, such as “a wooden desk from Germany with five drawers”, “a chest cabinet with German inlay with gilded trimming and ten drawers” and another, ‘of German wood with seven drawers and gilded studs with six pieces of carved glass rings.’  It is clear that the upper classes treasured the best chest cabinets as luxury objects that they exhibited and which gave them prestige, from the examples with Torrellas inlay to the pieces that were gilded and upholstered with the best leathers and fabrics, or the highly prized German ones, arriving especially from Ausburg.” This lot has been imported, so its export permit from the Ministry of Culture is guaranteed. Reference bibliography:Álvaro Zamora, Mª Isabel.
