Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

This Georgian side table belongs to the 18th century and is made of dark brown oak with brass hardware. The rectangular top has a moulded edge above a central frieze drawer with original pierced brass fret handles and a central escutcheon, flanked by two small side drawers housed within decorative shaped corner brackets. A shaped apron runs underneath the central drawer, and the piece stands on turned legs ending in pad feet, exhibiting a warm patina and excellent condition. Measuring 70 cm high, 99 cm wide, and 58 cm deep, this compact table fits neatly into an entrance hall beside the front door for holding everyday items like keys and post.

FAQs

Georgian oak side tables, often referred to as lowboys or dressing tables, were prominent utility pieces in 18th-century British homes. They typically feature a rectangular top, a series of drawers set into a shaped apron, and stylised legs such as cabriole or turned tapered legs.

These tables were primarily crafted from solid native oak, featuring hand-dovetailed drawer joints and oak drawer linings. Hardware usually consisted of cast brass drop handles with batwing or pierced backplates, secured through the drawer fronts with hand-cut brass nuts.

Genuine 18th-century oak pieces display uneven wear, hand-planed surfaces, and natural shrinkage across timber planks over time. Original brass fittings leave distinct oxidisation marks, and drawers will show hand-sawn dovetails rather than uniform machine joints.

An antique oak lowboy functions effectively as an accent piece in a hallway, entryway, or living room. Its warm timber tones contrast effectively against clean plasterwork, contemporary artwork, or neutral minimalist walls.

Maintain the wood by dusting regularly with a dry, soft cloth and applying a natural beeswax polish twice yearly to preserve the patina. Avoid placing the table near direct heat sources or in areas with fluctuating humidity to prevent cracking or warping.
