A lowboy is a small table fitted with drawers, originally created in the eighteenth century to function as a dressing table or side table in British and American homes.

Eighteenth-century lowboys were predominantly constructed from solid native hardwoods such as oak, walnut, or mahogany, often features hand-cast brass drop handles and backplates.

Authentic Queen Anne lowboys typically feature cabriole legs ending in pad or webbed feet, hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, hand-planed secondary timbers, and a shaped or scalloped kneehole apron.

An antique lowboy functions exceptionally well as a hall console table, a bedside table, or an occasional accent desk, contrasting warmly against modern minimalist backdrops.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year to maintain the natural patina and protect the wood surface.
