Burr Elm Lowboy, George II Period, Circa 1750

Rare George II Burr Elm Lowboy, Circa 1750

A rare and beautiful piece of George II English furniture, this fine lowboy is veneered throughout in richly figured burr elm, displaying exceptional grain, colour and character.

The lowboy stands on elegant cabriole legs terminating in pointed pad feet. The front is fitted with three drawers, comprising a full width upper drawer over two shorter drawers, all beautifully veneered in finely figured burr elm and enhanced with delicate fruitwood stringing. Each drawer retains its original lock and handles, while the drawers themselves retain their original pine linings, which remain in good condition.

The beautifully figured top is veneered in matching burr elm with complementary fruitwood stringing and is finished with a simple quadrant moulding around the edge. The sides and legs appear to be constructed from solid walnut, providing a pleasing contrast to the richly figured elm veneers.

The lowboy remains in very good original condition and has acquired a wonderful rich colour and attractive age related patina. A particularly fine and authentic example of mid 18th century English furniture, with excellent decorative appeal and unusually well preserved original features.
