Description

An elegant George II walnut lowboy dating to circa 1780, of refined proportions and pleasing colour throughout. The rectangular top displays attractive feather banding, above a configuration of three drawers fitted with original brass swan-neck handles and shaped escutcheons.

The drawer fronts show beautifully figured walnut veneers, framed by fine crossbanding, all retaining a rich, warm patina developed over time. Below, the shaped apron is raised on slender cabriole legs terminating in pad feet, lending the piece its light and graceful stance.

Well constructed and well proportioned, this lowboy would have originally served as a dressing or occasional table and remains eminently practical today. Ideal for use in a bedroom, hallway or drawing room, it offers both useful storage and classic Georgian elegance.

A particularly appealing example of late 18th century English walnut furniture, combining understated decoration with excellent colour and surface.
