Table Rare Slim George I Oak Lowboy C1720

A superb and increasingly difficult-to-find George I oak lowboy, dating to circa 1720, of wonderfully slim and elegant proportions, displaying exceptional colour, a beautifully developed patina and all the charm and craftsmanship associated with early 18th-century English country furniture.

The lowboy is constructed in particularly attractive quarter-sawn oak, displaying the beautiful figuring and distinctive medullary rays for which this highly desirable cut of timber is so prized.

The piece features a particularly handsome solid oak plank top, displaying a stunning depth of colour and wonderfully rich, mellow patina acquired through more than three centuries of age and use. The beautifully figured oak has a warmth and character that can only be achieved through generations of careful ownership.

Beneath the top are three beautifully proportioned drawers, retaining their original brass handles, a particularly desirable feature that adds considerably to the piece's authenticity and period appeal.

The drawers are traditionally constructed with solid oak linings and substantial, chunky hand-cut dovetail joints, demonstrating the skill and honest craftsmanship of the early Georgian cabinetmaker.

Raised on beautifully shaped turned and tapering legs terminating in elegant pad feet, the lowboy has a wonderfully refined appearance, combining the strength and solidity of traditional oak furniture with the graceful proportions of the George I period.

Of particular appeal are its unusually slim proportions, measuring just 41cm deep, making this a particularly versatile and desirable example. The narrow depth gives the piece a wonderfully elegant profile, ideal for a hallway, bedroom, drawing room or anywhere that space is at a premium.

The combination of the beautifully figured quarter-sawn oak, exceptional colour and patina, original brass handles, handsome plank top and finely shaped legs makes this a particularly attractive example of early English country furniture.

A rare and wonderfully characterful piece of early 18th-century English oak furniture, combining traditional craftsmanship, elegant proportions and practical storage.

A lovely, honest example of a George I country oak lowboy, with tremendous decorative appeal and the timeless charm that makes early Georgian furniture so desirable.
