Exceptional George II Side Table/lowboy

18th century
Description

An exceptional George II period mahogany side table of small proprtions and exquisite form. The superbly figured overhanging top above two short and two long drawers, all with the most remarkable fire-gilded handles and a shaped freize decorated with scrolled leafy ornament and raised on cabriole legs carved to the knees and beyond with trailing acanthus and terminating in circular pad feet.

In outstanding 'untouced' and original condition, including handles, escutcheons, locks and even a key.

This exceptionally fine table strongly echoes designs for lowboys made in Philladelphia, USA and popularised by such renouned makers as Henry Clifton (d 1771) and Thomas Carteret, . Whilst this current piece is believed to have been made in England, a connection of some sort seems very probable.

FAQs

A George II lowboy is a small 18th-century English table featuring drawers, cabriole legs, and decorative metalwork, designed during the reign of King George II between 1727 and 1760.

These tables were typically crafted from solid mahogany or walnut, featuring hand-dovetailed drawer joints, oak or pine secondary linings, and cast brass escutcheons and handles.

Authentic George II pieces feature characteristic cabriole legs, carved knee details, pad or claw-and-ball feet, hand-cut dovetail drawer joinery, and age-appropriate wear and patination on mahogany surfaces.

A Georgian lowboy functions effectively as a hallway console, side table, or bedside nightstand, paired with contemporary artwork or minimalist lamps to contrast the historic woodwork.

Dust regularly with a soft microfibre cloth and apply beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year, ensuring the table remains away from direct sunlight and radiators to prevent timber movement.
