The drawers are constructed with all original pine linings which are in good condition.

The top is beautifully veneered in matching burr elm with fruitwood stringing and is finished in a plain quadrant short grained moulding around its edge.

After forty years of shop keeping and maintaining beautiful showrooms, which have been regularly open six days a week, Robert and Wendy have now taken a slightly different approach to their business. Having sold their retail premises, the antique business is now fully online. The picture framing service has ceased to operate because of moving online.

You can contact Robert and Wendy by email or telephone to discuss items from their extensive catalogue of attractive pieces and make purchases. Customers can rest assured that the long-established dealership is continuing to run in an exceedingly professional way, selling genuine and high-quality items which are guaranteed to please the most discerning collector, decorator or homeowner.

All items will be personally hand packaged to a high standard. Small items are extensively wrapped using the best materials and are often double boxed. Items are then shipped with DHL or Royal Mail fully insured and often with next day delivery. Larger items would be personally delivered or sent with a specialist antique delivery firm, or for outside the U.K, a professional shipping company.

Please enjoy viewing their collection of rare and interesting pieces and have the assurance that Robert and Wendy will do their utmost to make sure your experience is exceptional, as has been recognised by many customers who have bought with confidence regularly over the years.

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.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
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.

A George II lowboy is an 18th-century English side table or small dressing table featuring drawers and cabriole legs, typically manufactured between 1727 and 1760.

Lowboys from this era were constructed using native hardwoods such as elm, walnut, or oak, often finished with burr veneers, hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, brass handles, and hand-carved legs.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-sawn wood marks on drawer linings, original brass drop handles or escutcheons, pad feet, and natural signs of timber shrinkage and patination consistent with age.

A lowboy functions effectively as an entryway console table, an occasional side table in a living area, or a small accent desk in a bedroom.

Maintain burr elm furniture by dusting regularly with a dry cloth and applying a clear beeswax polish annually, while avoiding direct heat sources and high humidity.
