Exceptional Oak Lowboy of Rare Form and Size C.1740

18th century
Description

A superb oak lowboy, or side table, of uncommon form and size at just over two feet wide. The twin piece top with its generous overhang, is banded with walnut and has re-entant corners both at the front and rear.

The three little oak-lined drawers are placed in a “naive” arrangement and retain their original handles with engraved backplates. The arched and undulating frieze design is repeated on the sides.

The table`s most appealing feature though, is the design of the legs, a stylized cabriole which is carved with a raised edge which extends to the squared, pad foot - simple but strikingly successful! English, circa 1740.

Date of Manufacture

Havard and Havard has dated this Antique Georgian Oak Lowboy to the 18th Century.

An 18th-century George II oak lowboy table finished in dark brown stands on four stylized cabriole legs ending in pad feet and features three drawers fitted with brass backplate handles and an arched, undulating shaped apron. Measuring 65 cm high, 65 cm wide, and 42 cm deep, this piece serves as a practical side table suited for placement against a narrow wall space in an English country house interior. The dark timber grain displays natural signs of age and wear across its surfaces. The drawer fronts hold ornate engraved brass backplates behind drop handles, while the slender legs terminate in distinct pad feet below the undulating frieze.

FAQs

A lowboy is an 18th-century table design featuring drawers, cabriole legs, and a shaped apron, originally functioning as a dressing table or side writing desk in Georgian households.

18th-century lowboys were predominantly constructed from solid native hardwoods, such as oak, walnut, or mahogany, often fitted with brass swan-neck handles and backplates.

Authentic Georgian lowboys display hand-cut dovetail joints, irregular hand-sawn drawer bottoms, original brass hardware marks, and natural wear around the feet and drawer edges consistent with age.

A lowboy functions effectively as an accent table in a hallway, entryway, or living space, paired with a contemporary mirror or lamp to contrast historical wood textures with modern decor.

Maintain antique oak by applying a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, keeping the piece away from direct heat sources, and dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth.
