This eighteenth-century Georgian lowboy is an elm table finished in a warm brown timber with a single-piece top and wonderfully worn cabriole legs. The serpentine front holds three small drawers fitted with brass drop handles and a central keyhole escutcheon, above a shaped apron with scroll-cut details. The table stands 73 cm high, 78 cm wide, and 49 cm deep. In a contemporary home, this piece suits a stairway landing as a decorative display surface or a compact side table. The elm grain shows visible signs of age and patina from regular use, while the brass hardware retains its traditional form.

FAQs

Originating in the 18th century, a lowboy is a small table fitted with one or more drawers, designed primarily to serve as a dressing table or side table in traditional English households.

Craftsmen frequently utilised native hardwoods such as elm, oak, and walnut, joining them with hand-cut dovetails and finishing the piece with cast brass handles and keyhole escutcheons.

Authentic pieces from this period exhibit hand-planed timber surfaces, hand-cut dovetail joints inside the drawers, original brass hardware displaying natural oxidisation, and expected wear around the feet and drawer runners.

Position the piece in an entryway or stairway landing to function as a focal console, pairing the historic woodwork with a modern ceramic lamp, minimalist tray, or framed contemporary artwork.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft, dry cotton cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice per year, ensuring the table remains away from direct radiators and sunlight to protect the natural timber finish.
