Middletons Antiques

Description

This is a very handsome Georgian oak lowboy.
With a deep apron, and 4 sturdy well defined cabriole legs, this is a robust piece of Georgian furniture with real charm and character. It would date to about 1750.

On the inside of the top drawer there is an early hand written note glued to the back of the drawer. I would guess this is early Victorian.

In very small script it reads:
'Valuation of ground rent arising from land situated at back school street great Bolton in the county of Lancaster belonging to the late Mr Buller Taylor Late of Taylor Fold in Great Bolton aforesaid amounting to the sum of 12/1. This I value at 20 years purchase at 12 – 1 – 8 (£12. 1s. 8 pence)
James Parkinson Appraiser and Valuer
14 Cheapside Bolton

Condition:
The low boy is in very good condition throughout.
Both back legs have had old block repairs to the feet where they have worn down, and the front right foot has some wear around the edges but not enough to warrant repair.

The brass handles are old replacements, very correct in style and period for the piece and there are no scars from other handles.

Excellent nut brown Georgian oak colour and patina, wax finish
