Vintage Laurel and Hardy Side Table – The Great Escape

This vintage Lauel and Hardy side table was sculpted by Peter Mook under license from Larry Harmon Pictures Corporation. Dates back to 1990s. Made from durable resin, it remains in good condition. This humorous sculpture shows Oliver Hardy emerging from a street sewer while supporting Stan Laurel on his shoulders, as Laurel lifts the heavy manhole cover above them. Hardy’s strained expression reflects the physical effort of climbing upward, while Laurel’s cautious grip suggests uncertainty and reliance. The cobblestone base and clearly marked sewer cover establish the underground setting, reinforcing the illusion that the duo has just surfaced from below the street. Their stacked posture captures the familiar dynamic of burden and dependence, transforming a moment of escape into a functional and highly imaginative collectible.

Enter the timeless world of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, where the legendary comedy duo is brought to life through a charming array of vintage collectibles. From expressive statues and characterful money boxes to whimsical clocks and functional side tables, each piece captures the unmistakable humor and enduring chemistry of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. These finely crafted works celebrate the golden age of slapstick, preserving their iconic poses, gestures, and unforgettable personalities in tangible form.

Step into the timeless artistry of Peter Mook, where Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy are brought to life alongside characters from Disney, Warner Bros., King Features, and more. Rooted in both classic film and animation history, his sculptures celebrate the enduring legacy of the world’s most beloved characters with exceptional detail and authenticity.

Peter Mook's Personal Favorites

During an interview with Peter Mook, we asked him about his personal favorites from the Fingendi, Heissner AG and Rutten collections.

From the Looney Tunes, his favorites are the Lifesize Wile E. Coyote butler and Wile E. Coyote on the rocket. When looking at the Wile E. Coyote butler, it's easy to see why this is his personal favorite.

Wile E Coyote Butler one of Peter Mooks Favorites

His favorite Walt Disney sculptures are the white Mickey Mouse Classic and the Mickey Mouse butler. As for Betty Boop, his favorite is the Betty Boop taking a bath statue. Why? Because no one wanted to produce this Betty Boop statue, believing it wouldn't sell, but it ended up being the best-selling statue Peter Mook sculpted during his time with Rutten and Fingendi.

From the Heissner collection, Donald Duck with his lawnmower is Peter Mook's favorite.
