About the Item

A most attractive and elegant late 17th Century oak lowboy with a lovely natural and well developed patina and rich warm colour. The single drawer with original oak lining and early, possibly original, brass drop handles with snaped fixings, filigree backplates and brass penny engraved drops – the engraving now worn smooth from use. The drawer void is framed by a lovely ogee moulded border and the drawer itself has a slim outer border carved in the solid. The drawer opens and closes smoothly, is sturdy, clean and capacious, providing a lot of storage. The wide oversailing top of three slender oak boards with medullary rays has a shaped outer border carved in the solid. All set on tall finely ring turned legs with original tall peg feet (the leg and peg feet turned from a continuous length of oak) and united by the original box stretcher with channel carved and shaped upper face. Peg jointed throughout with original very small squared pegs. Sturdy and stable, the lowboy is in very good original condition with only minor knocks and nibbles. Really pretty, a lovely side, wine or lamp table which will look superb in a traditional cottage or modern interior. Oodles of charm, a useful small size, sturdy and entirely usable after 330 years and generations of service – a credit to the 17th century craftsman who made it. Dimensions are: 27.5 inches high, 29 inches wide and 23 inches deep. For metric please multiply by 2.5

17th Century English Oak Strong Box c. 1640
Located in Heathfield, GB
A rare English oak strong box retaining original and elaborately forged iron lock plate and lock with escutcheon cover and with the original working key. The case with original beautifully shaped corner brackets and original carrying handles – all the hardware fixed with the original rivets. The interior with seven oak drawers with attractive original handles, three over two banks of two, each drawer with very fine boarded linings in wainscot oak with nailed up bottoms. These chests were used by merchants who travelled and traded. The drawers may have contained precious gemstones such as diamonds, gold or jewellery, spices or coins. The fall descends to form a desk at which to write, weigh or count. This example no doubt travelled aboard ships of the day carrying cargo and travellers around the world – ships like the wooden hulled Mayflower which took the Pilgrim Fathers to America in 1620. The strong box has probably visited many lands and carried all manner of exotic and highly valuable items. If only it could talk! A beautiful and very rarely seen early English example set on a most attractive hand made oak stand...

Unique and Interesting Georgian Teak Ship’s Table c. 1800
Located in Heathfield, GB
A most interesting and unusual solid teak table designed to be bolted to a wooden deck and made of solid teak. The legs united by a substantial ring and bulb turned stretcher and the top with two hinged drop leaves which extend on iron flies. When closed the flies fold into recesses within the sub-frame of the table. The top with thickly cast solid brass straps which allow the table to pivot and with heavy solid brass pendulums which enable the table to be fixed at a variety of angles or to swing freely on the pivots, presumably to level the table in heavy seas. The table can be turned fully over to reveal an open box compartment...
