Mouseman table sells for 'world record price'

A school in Leeds has auctioned off two 1930s "Mouseman" dining tables for a combined total of £78,000.
The auctioneers said the £42,000 paid for the table, made from a single piece of oak, was the "highest paid at auction for a piece of Mouseman furniture". Both tables were sold to phone bidders, with the record offer coming from a buyer in Yorkshire.
The Mouseman workshop in Kilburn, Yorkshire, is still run by the family of Thompson, who died in 1955.
