Description

A classic early Georgian lowboy/dressing table c. 1720. With walnut being particularly fashionable, this piece was made for the elegant town house of the period and exudes quality. It has a matched quarter veneered top with patterns resembling flames. The edges are decorated with herring bone inlay and cross banded. The drawers too are cross-banded and edged with cock-beading which continues around the shaped frieze. The legs are made from solid walnut and terminate in beautifully shaped cabriole pads.

The carcass is constructed from pine with oak lined drawers and is in its original condition. Even the handles are original. It has a toffee coloured patina and it is both useful and graceful.

The English dressing table is now frequently referred to as a lowboy. A term used to compliment the tallboy or chest on chest which was another piece of bedroom furniture.

FAQs

A lowboy is a small table with drawers, typically used during the 18th century as a dressing table, side table, or writing desk.

These pieces are typically constructed from native timbers such as walnut or oak, featuring dovetail joints in the drawers and hand-carved cabriole legs.

Authenticity is determined by inspecting hand-cut dovetailing, traditional timber shrinkage, period brass hardware, and construction methods consistent with 18th-century cabinet making.

An antique lowboy serves as a striking focal point in a hallway or living room when paired with contemporary lighting or abstract art to create a balanced contrast.

Maintain antique wooden furniture by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and periodically treating the surface with traditional beeswax to nourish the wood.
