A lowboy is a small leg table featuring drawers beneath the top surface. They served various domestic functions historically, including as dressing tables. Today they fit easily into entrance halls or bedrooms as compact side tables.

How do I date an oak lowboy?

Dating relies on timber selection, construction methods such as hand-cut dovetails, and leg profiles. Eighteenth century pieces display distinct joinery compared to later revivals. Examine the secondary woods inside the drawers for further clues regarding age.

Are these tables suitable for modern use?

Their compact proportions make them practical for contemporary hallways and bedrooms. They function well as small writing desks or display surfaces. Matching them with period stools creates a traditional dressing station arrangement.

What timber was used most often?

Mahogany and oak appear most frequently across the surviving lowboys and side tables. Walnut and cherrywood also feature in eighteenth century examples. Revival pieces from later periods often employ mahogany or ebonised wood.
