18th Century Oak Low Side Table with Locking Drawer

18th century
Description

Unusual late 18th century oak side table with a locking central drawer and two others, circa 1780.

This side table is a very useful size and certainly an interesting little piece of 18th century furniture.

The condition is good and has the working lock and key to the central drawer.

There is a faded mark to the table top, but I have left this as it is under many decades of beeswax and would be a shame to strip away to re finish…in my opinion, the mark does not warrant a strip as in reality it isn’t very noticeable, but under the very bright lights of the studio, it looks more visible!

Measuring:

18 3/4 inches or 47.5 cm high

21 1/2 inches or 54.5 cm wide

14 3/4 inches or 37.5 cm deep

Physical Dimensions
Height
47.5cm (18.70")
Width

Dealers Notes

I can arrange delivery to you, whether you are within the UK or require an international delivery service, please do get in touch…as a mainland UK guide, a delivery for something around the size of a chest of drawers within approx 150 miles will be £75 to you, but if you if you are in Scotland, Wales, Ireland or Cornwall please get in touch to confirm delivery costs!

Based in Uppingham, Rutland…having been in the business for 25 years focusing on mostly French and English decorative antiques and interiors from the 18th to the early 20th century, hopefully a collection you will enjoy browsing and hopefully re home some of my finds!

Viewing here in Uppingham is very welcome in my spacious barn studio but also I have a showroom based within the Uppingham Antiques Centre, which is well worth a visit and have a good lunch in town too!

Any queries about anything you have seen or about delivery, don't hesitate to get in touch.

FAQs

A lowboy is a small table with drawers, popular during the 18th century in Britain and America. Typically set on cabriole or turned legs, it was commonly used as a dressing table or small writing desk in period homes.

English 18th-century lowboys were predominantly constructed from solid native timbers such as oak, walnut, or mahogany. Drawers were fitted with hand-forged iron locks and cast brass handles, such as swan-neck or teardrop drop pulls.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, hand-planed surfaces with natural unevenness, and pegged mortise-and-tenon joinery. Wear around the feet, drawers, and brass keyholes consistent with centuries of use also indicates authenticity.

An antique oak lowboy works well as a side table beside contemporary upholstered seating or positioned in an entryway. Layering the top surface with a modern ceramic lamp, books, or clean-lined decorative objects balances the historic wood grain with modern textures.

Maintain the surface by dusting regularly with a soft, dry cloth and applying a clear beeswax polish once or twice a year to preserve the wood moisture and patina. Keep the piece away from direct heat sources and radiators to prevent wood movement or shrinkage.
