Description

A very beautiful George II walnut and yew wood lowboy made by hand in c. 1750 and of exemplary colour. The lovely oversailing top with a stunning yew wood panel within a deep crossbanded figured walnut border.

.

The three frieze drawers with original linings of fine boards over very well shaped and stepped apron with fine borders to front and sides and of a most unusual form with long and slightly tapered squared legs terminating in cupped feet, a squared version of a Braganza foot and completely original.

.

The small engraved brasses are period but not the originals. They suit the lowboy very well. Some old professional restorations to rear legs – well blended and difficult to notice even on close inspection. Small losses and bruises.

.

Absolutely stunning lowboy of small and elegant proportion, sturdy and stands well. Heavy and robust.

.

Completely charming and very original example.

.

Dimensions are:

29 inches wide, 18 inches deep, 28 inches high.
