ANTIQUE #SA1076066

18th Century Walnut Lowboy Side Table

Status: This item has been sold
Sold by: Rumble Antiques

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.
