FAQs

A lowboy is a small chest of drawers on long legs, originating in the eighteenth century. It was primarily designed to serve as a dressing table or side table in domestic interiors during the Georgian period.

Eighteenth-century lowboys were commonly crafted from native hardwoods such as oak, walnut, and mahogany, frequently assembled using hand-cut dovetail joints and fitted with solid brass swan-neck or drop handles.

Authentic pieces display period-correct signs of craftsmanship, such as irregular hand-sawn wood under drawers, hand-cut dovetail joinery, original brass hardware marks, and natural wear patterns consistent with age.

A period lowboy functions effectively as a hallway console, a bedside accent table, or a statement piece beneath a contemporary mirror, balancing traditional wood tones with clean modern lines.

Preservation involves dusting with a soft, dry cloth and periodically applying a high-quality beeswax polish to nourish the timber, keeping the piece away from direct heat sources and high humidity.
