A set of Jack Grimble adzed oak library steps, circa 1940, of fixed A-frame form, signed ‘Jack Grimble, Cromer’.
Frederick Jack Grimble, known as Jack Grimble (circa 1905-1990) was a craftsman, and art and woodwork teacher based in Cromer, Norfolk. Best known for his oak furniture produced throughout the mid-20th century, he is now regarded as the ‘Mouseman of Norfolk’. His style developed after careful study of medieval English furniture techniques, construction and materials.
He worked on the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, including commissions for the Royal Family.
Provenance: Private Collection, Warwickshire; purchased directly from the Grimble workshop (with other pieces in our stock) and never previously on the market.
