This large side table and chest originates from around 1920 in the Queen Anne Revival style, constructed from mahogany with a warm brown finish. The rectangular top has a dished profile and displays mirror-matched flame mahogany veneer, set above a slide, two short drawers, and one long drawer fitted with original cast brass swan-neck handles. Below the drawers sits a shaped apron, supported by cabriole legs terminating in pad feet. The piece measures 78 cm high, 123 cm wide, and 60 cm deep, and the drawers are impressed with the maker's mark. In a modern interior, this versatile furniture item functions effectively as a hall table or a living room console. It provides practical surface space alongside concealed storage within its drawers, fitting comfortably into traditional reception rooms or studies within an English Country House setting.

FAQs

A lowboy or side table chest is a small cabinet with drawers mounted on long legs, originally developed during the eighteenth century as a dressing table or side storage unit in Georgian and Queen Anne furniture design.

These pieces typically feature flame mahogany or walnut veneers over solid hardwood frames, constructed with hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, cast brass swan-neck handles, and distinctive cabriole legs terminating in pad feet.

Key indicators include solid wood drawer linings, fine hand-cut dovetailing, maker stamps on drawer tops, and natural wood grain age patination around metal hardware.

Position it as a hallway console, a dining room server, or a focal dressing table, pairing the warm wood tones with neutral contemporary backdrops or polished brass accents.

Keep the wood away from direct sunlight and central heating sources, clean regularly with a soft dry cloth, and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year following the natural grain.
