This Georgian lowboy table dates from the eighteenth century and is constructed from oak with walnut cross-banding. The warm brown timber displays a polished finish and natural grain patterns across the rectangular top and the three drawers. Brass swan-neck handles and escutcheons accent the front, accompanied by keyholes centred on each drawer face. The structure stands on cabriole legs terminating in pad feet, supporting an arched apron beneath the lower drawers. The tabletop edge incorporates a moulded quadrant bead and rounded corners. Practical dimensions of 71 cm high, 81 cm wide, and 50 cm deep make this side table suitable for placement beside the front door or in a hallway for surface storage and display. It functions well in an English country house interior as a traditional accent piece.

FAQs

A lowboy is a small table featuring drawers, introduced during the late 17th and 18th centuries in England and North America. Designed primarily as a dressing table or side table, it features elevated legs, typically cabriole or turned, and an arrangement of drawers around a central kneehole arch.

18th-century lowboys were commonly crafted from native hardwoods such as English oak, walnut, and later mahogany. Construction featured hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, solid wood drawer linings, and cast brass backplate handles or drop handles.

Authentic period lowboys display signs of hand-tooling, including irregular hand-cut dovetails, pit-saw or adze marks on unexposed back and underside surfaces, and natural timber shrinkage over time. Original brass handles will show casting imperfections and historic oxidisation around keyholes and backplates.

An antique lowboy functions effectively as an entryway console table, a compact hallway piece, or a side table in a drawing room. Its compact proportions allow it to contrast against contemporary backdrops while offering functional drawer storage.

Maintain the piece by dusting with a dry, soft cloth and applying beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year to nourish the timber patination. Avoid placing the table near direct heat sources, radiators, or strong sunlight to prevent moisture loss and wood movement.
