George II Oak and Elm Lowboy with Initials/Dated


A wonderful George II provincial lowboy made in solid elm and oak.
These vernacular pieces of English antique furniture are such a joy.
Beautifully made by hand and with great care and attention to detail and proportion. The craftsman who made this used timber from the locally felled trees which had been cut into boards by travelling groups of sawyers who went from village to village. The timber was left to dry naturally for many years before being selected for this lowboy.
Each of the lowboy’s drawer fronts are inlaid with walnut to give the date 1741 (divided over the two flanking drawers) and on the central drawer front the initials A.H.
Completely original timbers including the back board, carcase and the nailed up pine drawer linings (the centre drawer retains its original partitioning).
The Queen Anne style handles have solid brass circular back plates and beautiful drop handles cast with small faces. These are of George II period or earlier and appear original but may be replacements as the back plates appear a little larger than one would expect to see.
The drawers open and close smoothly, one drawer front with loss to lower corner.
The solid elm over-sailing top has a thumb moulded border and the drawers sit within a well shaped apron which is repeated on both the sides and at the back. The gently shaped cabriole legs are made in solid elm.
There is evidence of old worm holes - long since dead - to the underside.
Absolutely charming and with a wonderful natural colour and patination.
Perhaps made as a love token, or to celebrate a marriage, and whoever A H was, they are forever entwined with this lowboy’s great charm and long history.
Dimensions are:
26.25 inches high, 31.25 inches wide and 22.25 inches deep.
The usable height of the central drawer is 2.25 inches and of the flanking drawers is 3.25 inches. I describe and photograph my pieces accurately and with the aim that on arrival each will exceed expectations.
I operate a full refund guarantee and am always happy to give free, honest and friendly advice.
