Description

A Georgian mahogany lowboy dating from around 1800, displaying pleasing proportions and excellent colour throughout. The rectangular top retains a rich, warm patina, with attractive figuring to the mahogany and gentle surface wear consistent with age and use.

The arrangement of three drawers comprises a long central drawer above two shorter drawers, each fitted with original brass ring handles on circular backplates. The drawers are well constructed, with visible dovetailing, and offer useful storage while maintaining the piece’s elegant symmetry. Below, a shaped central apron adds refinement and visual interest, framing the knee space in a classic Georgian manner.

Raised on tapering square legs, the lowboy has a light and graceful stance, well suited to a variety of interiors. The sides are constructed in solid timber, showing honest wear and colour variation, further attesting to the piece’s age and authenticity.

Versatile in use, this lowboy would serve equally well as a small writing table, dressing table, or occasional table. A characterful and practical example of late Georgian furniture, offering timeless appeal and everyday usability.
