FAQs

A lowboy is a small table with drawers, popular in 18th-century Britain and North America, designed originally as a dressing table or side table. During the George III era, these pieces were crafted primarily from solid mahogany and characterised by cabriole legs and balanced proportions.

Georgian lowboys were constructed using dense hardwoods, predominantly Cuban or West Indian mahogany, with oak or pine used for interior drawer linings. Construction details typically feature hand-cut dovetail joints, cockbeaded drawer edges, and solid timber tops fitted to carved cabriole legs.

Authentic 18th-century examples feature irregular hand-cut dovetail joints, historic brass hardware with hand-cut threads, and natural wear patterns underneath the frame. The underside of the top often reveals hand-sawn tool marks and an unpolished finish consistent with period cabinetmaking.

A mahogany lowboy functions as a hallway console, a bedside table, or a focal accent piece in a living space. Pairing the item with modern artwork above or contemporary ceramics on the surface balances the dark timber tones against minimalist decor.

Keep the timber away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent cracking or fading of the finish. Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to preserve the surface.
