FAQs

A lowboy is a small table fitted with drawers, originating in the late 17th and 18th centuries in Britain, historically serving as a dressing table or side table.

These tables were crafted from solid oak using mortise and tenon joinery, hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, and feature cast brass backplate handles.

Authentic pieces display hand-sawn timber marks, hand-cut dovetails, wooden peg construction, and uneven wear patterns consistent with age and long-term use.

An antique oak lowboy functions effectively as an entryway console, bedside table, or focal accent piece in a living room paired with contemporary ceramics.

Maintain the original finish by dusting with a soft cloth and applying a clear beeswax polish once or twice per year, keeping the table away from direct heat sources.
