Low Welsh side table or lowboy in native Welsh oak, with a moulded-edged top above a central rectangular drawer flanked by square drawers, all with chequer inlay of holly and bog oak, above a shaped frieze with an intricate and flowing fretted design. The ends and rear aprons are also shaped and the whole is raised on square legs.It has possibly lost a little height but because the legs are slender would never have been the usual height for a side table.The two main forms of elaboration on vernacular furniture from south Wales were inlay and fretwork, but they are very rarely combined on the same piece.Good colour and surface.(Right-hand drawer repaired; some replaced inlay; bottom of rear right leg replaced)Illustrated in ''Welsh Furniture 1250:1950'' plate 712, and the so-called ''sadness patch'' in the end is shown in plate 836.Pembrokeshire, west Wales, circa 1760.Height: 23.25 inches; 59 cmsWidth: 31.25 inches; 79.5 cmsDepth: 205 inches; 52 cms....
