Fine Early 18th Century Walnut Lowboy

18th century
For Sale by Holmes Antiques
Description

A fine Queen Anne Walnut Lowboy of good colour and patina, in wonderful original condition apart from the handles that are later replacements.

The cabriole legs are superbly shaped with a carved bead to the knee, the ankle is nicely cut away at the back to form a hoof foot above a turned ball.

The Ogee moulding to the edge of the top has been made from cross grain rosewood which has a striking appearance.

The applied double bead surrounding the drawers appears to be made from dark rosewood in order to give a contrasting affect to the light coloured Walnut. The top is in figured matched Walnut with feather banding and cross band. Having clean original Oak drawer linings.

FAQs

A lowboy is a small table with drawers, popular during the Queen Anne and Early Georgian periods in the 18th century. It was originally designed as a dressing table or side table, featuring a rectangular top, drawers, and cabriole legs.

Early 18th-century lowboys were typically crafted from solid walnut or walnut veneers over oak or pine carcasses. Construction details often include hand-cut dovetail joints, brass teardrop or batwing handles, and hand-carved cabriole legs.

Authentic pieces exhibit signs of hand tools, irregular dovetail joints, and natural wood shrinkage along the grain over time. Look for original brass ironmongery, hand-carved shaped aprons, and period-appropriate drawer linings.

An antique walnut lowboy serves well as a side table, hallway console, or accent desk in contemporary homes. Pair it with modern artwork, a minimal ceramic lamp, or a gilded mirror to create a contrast between traditional and modern elements.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year. Keep the piece away from direct sunlight, radiators, and extreme humidity changes to prevent wood movement or cracking.
