An early 18th century Queen Anne oak lowboy in a warm brown timber finish brings traditional English country house character to interior spaces. This low table comes with four drawers fitted with replacement late 18th century brass drop handles, a shaped kneehole apron terminating in neat scroll carvings, and four cabriole legs with pad feet. The light honey-coloured oak displays prominent figuring across the surfaces, complemented by an untouched, dry underside. Measuring 72 cm high by 81 cm wide and 48 cm deep, the piece provides a compact footprint. Placed beside the front door, this lowboy offers a practical surface for everyday items while introducing period craftsmanship into an entryway. The side table sits steadily on a flat floor surface, functioning as a decorative and useful accent in traditional or mixed-period home settings. The combination of cabriole legs, shaped aprons, and brass hardware creates a distinct profile suited for functional daily use in hallways or reception rooms.

FAQs

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.
