This 18th century Georgian side table lowboy is fashioned from solid oak with a warm brown finish. The furniture piece displays a three-drawer configuration, featuring an arrangement of one central drawer flanked by two smaller side drawers, all fitted with original brass swan-neck swing handles. Beneath the drawers runs a decorative shaped apron, supported by four square straight legs. The warm wood exhibits a natural grain pattern with a good untouched patina from age. Measuring 76 cm high, 80 cm wide and 52 cm deep, the proportions allow the table to function comfortably as a writing desk or a dressing table. Placed inside a home today, it works particularly well beside the front door for holding everyday items.

FAQs

A lowboy is an 18th-century small table or chest with drawers, designed primarily during the Georgian period as a dressing table or side desk, typically featuring a shaped apron and three drawers.

Traditional 18th-century lowboys are constructed from solid native oak, featuring hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, solid oak drawer linings, brass drop or swan-neck handles, and mortise and tenon leg joinery.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-planed surfaces, hand-sawn timber markings, hand-cut dovetails on drawer construction, shrinkage across timber grain, and natural patination on brass hardware and woodwork.

An oak lowboy serves as a functional entryway console table, a compact home office writing desk, or a bedroom dressing table when paired with a modern mirror and understated brass lighting.

Dust regularly with a dry cloth and apply beeswax polish once or twice per year, keeping the wood away from direct heat sources and severe humidity fluctuations to prevent warping.
