AND THE YORKSHIRE CRITTERS
Tennants is widely regarded as the leading auction house in the Arts & Crafts oak furniture and furnishings of Robert ‘Mouseman’ Thompson. In 2016 Tennants staged the first ever exhibition of Robert ‘Mouseman’ Thompson outside Kilburn in conjunction with his descendants. The Yorkshire Critters comprise over forty furniture makers working in the tradition of Robert ‘Mouseman’ Thompson, many of whom trained in his Kilburn workshop. Increasingly popular, the most well-known of them include Stan ‘Woodpeckerman’ Dodds, Wilf ‘Squirrelman’ Hutchinson and Colin ‘Beaverman’ Almack.
Numerous important private collections of Mouseman have been sold at Tennants over the years, including the Library from Leeds Girls’ High School, the Boardroom from Grattans in Bradford, the contents of St Hilda’s Priory in Whitby, and property from Marco-Pierre White’s Rudloe Arms Hotel in Wiltshire.

We act as agents for the Seller, whose details remain confidential. If you buy at auction your contract is with the Seller, not us.
Picture Descriptions
The forename(s) (or asterisks where not known) and surname of the artist indicates, in our opinion, a work by the artist named.
The initials of the forename(s) and the surname of the artist indicates in our opinion a work of the period of the artist which may be wholly or in part his work.
The following terms apply in our determination of a picture description:
(a) “Attributed to” - is in our opinion probably a work by the artist.
(b) “Studio of” - is in our opinion a work from the studio of the artist which may or may not have been executed under his direction.
(c) “Circle of” - is in our opinion a work of the period of the artist executed under his immediate influence.
(d) “Follower of” - is in our opinion a work by a painter working in the artist’s style, contemporary or nearly contemporary, but not necessarily his pupil.
(e) “Manner of” - is in our opinion a work in a style related to that of the artist, but of a later date.
(f) “School accompanied by the name of a place or country and a date” - means that in our opinion the picture was executed at that time and in that location; e.g. Flemish School, 17th century.
(g) “After” - an artist is in our opinion a copy of any date after a work by that artist.
(h) “Signed and/or dated and/or inscribed means that in our opinion the signature and/or date and/or inscription” - are from the hand of the artist.
(i) “Bears signature and/or dated and or inscription means that in our opinion the artist’s name and/or date and/or inscription” - have been added by another hand.
(j) All references to signature, inscriptions and dates refer to the present state of the work.
(k) Dimensions are given height before width and do not include the frame
(l) Pictures are framed unless otherwise stated.
Droit de Suite/ Artists’ Resale Rights
All items in this catalogue that are marked with “✓” are potentially qualifying items, and the royalty charge (set out below) will apply if the Hammer Price is more than £1,000. The royalty charge will be added to purchase invoices and must be paid before items can be cleared. All royalty charges are paid to either the Design and Artists Copyright Society (“DACS”) or the Artists’ Collecting Society (“ACS”) by the auctioneers, and no handling costs or additional fees with respect to these changes will be retained by the auctioneer.
From 14 February 2006 United Kingdom art market professionals (which includes auctioneers) are required to collect a royalty payment for all works of art that have been produced by living artists, and those who have died within the last 70 years. This payment is calculated on qualifying works of art which are sold for a Hammer Price of more than £1,000.
The royalty charge for qualifying items which achieve a Hammer Price of more than the UK sterling equivalent of £1,000 is as follows:
Up to £50,000 – 4%
£50,000.01 to £200,000 – 3%
£200,000.01 to £350,000 – 1%
£350,000.01 to £500,000 – 0.5%
Exceeding £500,000 – 0.25%
For further information please visit www.dacs.org.uk or www.artistscollectingsociety.org. There is no VAT payable on this royalty charge.

Card payments where the card holder is not present will only be accepted for transactions up to £500.
