George II period figured and burr walnut lowboy, the rectangular canted top with a double crossbanded quarter veneered burr central panel and moulded edge, fitted with an assortment of five cock-beaded drawers with original pierced brass handle plates, over a shaped apron, raised on cabriole supports with pad feet. The piece has black and white line inlay to the top and all the drawers.

Circa1730

Note: The piece has a hand-written label taped on the inside of the centre drawer which reads: “This dressing table belongs to Paul, I see his receipt for £250. For the money he paid me on 11/1/70. It was sold on the understanding that it remains at The Lodge until my & Eileen’s death. 12/1/70”.

When this was made, such tables were “occasional tables” or “dressing tables”. The latter was to prevent ointments, powders and cosmetics from staining the valuable carpets.

FAQs

A George II lowboy is an 18th-century English side table or dressing table produced during the reign of King George II between 1727 and 1760. These pieces typically feature cabriole legs, multiple drawer configurations, and a decorative apron, often finished in figured or burr walnut veneers.

18th-century lowboys were predominantly constructed using walnut veneers, including figured and burr walnut, laid over solid oak or pine carcases. High-quality examples feature herringbone or feather banding surrounding the drawer fronts and tabletop, accompanied by cast brass drop handles.

Authentic George II pieces exhibit period-correct joinery, including hand-cut dovetail joints, oak drawer linings, and natural timber shrinkage across veneer surfaces. Original hardware or evidence of historic handle replacements typically leaves distinct outline markings on the timber face.

An antique lowboy serves as a versatile accent table in modern interiors, functioning as a hallway console, bedside table, or living room side table. Placing warm walnut furniture alongside contemporary artwork creates an engaging contrast in layered residential spaces.

Preserve antique walnut furniture by placing it away from direct sunlight and radiators to avoid veneer lifting and timber movement. Dust regularly with a soft, dry cotton cloth and apply beeswax polish sparingly along the grain to protect the natural patination.
