About the Item

A compact-sized 18th-century walnut lowboy / dressing table / vanity. George II period, circa 1750. Raised on cabriole legs, this small English walnut table is only 2' 5'' wide. Retaining its original open-fret brasses, which are typical of the mid-18th century. Excellent well-figured walnut of rich mellow color and original waxed surface. It has a shaped apron consisting of 3 cockbeaded drawers. Inlaid with boxwood lines. Raised on cabriole legs. This versatile Georgian antique can be used as a side table, lamp table, small occasional table, writing table, dressing table or vanity. Ralph Edwards CBE FSA illustrates a similar walnut lowboy In 'The Dictionary of English Furniture', Hamlyn, London (Fourth Impression 1972) p. 542, fig. 2; '‘Walnut Table; cabriole legs; shaped under framing, fitted with three drawers circa 1715 (Macquoid Collection).’' The brasses appear to match ours.
