A superb pair of solid oak bookends by the craftsman and furniture maker Lyndon Hammell (d.2015). He worked at the workshop of the iconic Robert Mouseman Thompson until 1979; then set up his own workshop in Wensleydale. Hammell was one among a group of makers who took on animal names and branded each item they made with animals. Hammell’s signature mark, as seen here on these pieces, was a carving of a cat holding a mouse in it's mouth. These are a fabulous pair of bookends, perfect in their handmade rough hewn style. You can certainly see the hand of the maker. Good rustic condition with a slight line of a natural/ age related opening in the wood.
