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.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A lowboy is a small table fitted with drawers, originally developed in the late 17th and 18th centuries in Britain and North America. It served primarily as a dressing table or side table, typically featuring a shallow central drawer flanked by two deeper side drawers above a shaped apron.

18th-century lowboys were predominantly constructed from native hardwoods such as elm, oak, walnut, and mahogany. Cabinetmakers utilised hand-cut dovetail joints for drawer construction, solid timber tops, and cast brass fittings including batwing backplates and drop handles.

Authentic period lowboys exhibit signs of hand construction, such as irregular hand-sawn timber surfaces, hand-cut dovetail joints, and natural wood shrinkage. Additional indicators include period-appropriate brass handles, wooden peg joinery, and genuine surface oxidisation.

An antique lowboy functions as a hall console, bedside storage, or a compact writing desk in contemporary interiors. Pairing the piece with simple ceramics, a modern desk lamp, or an understated wall mirror creates a balanced contrast between historic woodwork and clean modern design.

Maintain historical timber furniture by keeping it positioned away from direct sunlight and radiators to avoid drying and cracking. Regular dusting with a soft cloth and periodic applications of clear beeswax polish will protect the wood finish and preserve its natural surface patina.
