FAQs

A lowboy is a small table fitted with drawers, originating in the 18th century during the Georgian and Queen Anne periods to serve as a dressing table or side table. Characterised by a kneehole arrangement of drawers, these pieces provided functional storage for bedrooms and living spaces.

Authentic lowboys are predominantly constructed from dense woods such as mahogany, walnut, or oak, featuring hand-cut dovetail drawer joints and solid brass swan-neck handles. The legs often feature turned, cabriole, or square forms with shaped aprons fitted beneath the drawer frame.

Authentic Georgian pieces display hand-sawn timber marks, hand-planed surfaces, and original brass fittings with natural oxidisation. Examine the drawer linings and underside for evidence of age, such as timber shrinkage, secondary wood usage, and period-correct fasteners.

A lowboy functions effectively as a hallway console, bedside table, or accent piece in a study. Pairing the rich mahogany tone with neutral wall paint and contemporary lighting creates a balanced contrast between historical craftsmanship and modern design.

Dust the wood surface regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year along the grain. Keep the piece away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and high humidity to prevent warping or drying of the timber.
