Gavin Kirkbride ‘Lilyman’ Oak Occasional Side / Lamp Table, 2015

Stock ref: DS3033

Excellent solid oak occasional side / lamp table by the ex mouseman craftsman Gavin ‘Lilyman’ Kirkbride. Rectangular form with subtly adzed top, supported on four shaped and carved legs supported by stretchers. Gavin’s signature arum lily carved in relief to one leg.

Excellent condition, unfumed natural oak, finished in a modern clear polyx wax oil to give stain and heat resistance. This finish is suitable for over waxing.

It’s the second of a matched pair that we have purchased from the original Helmsley owner. They are priced individually but we will be pleased to agree a price for the pair.

Gavin went to work as an apprentice at Robert Thompson’s after leaving school in 1992. His career at  Thompson’s spanned 15 years and saw him qualify as a highly skilled craftsman.  He established his own business in Northallerton in 2007, the business name inspired by the birth of his first child, daughter Lily. As an ex mouseman craftsman  and inspired by the ethos and traditions acquired there, Gavin now makes bespoke hand crafted solid oak furniture  and joinery to client’s specifications, each piece carved with an Arum Lily, a symbol of peace and serenity. Personally recommended by David, Gavin is also generous of his skills and time to our own business. Having known each other well for over 13 years we are good friends and support each other whenever we can. He’s the ex mouseman craftsman David turns to when repair work or restoration advice is needed on our own stock pieces.
