Queen Anne Period Walnut Lowboy
Queen Anne Period Walnut Lowboy
The moulded rectangular top with canted corners above a single long frieze drawer fitted with a brass escutcheon and a pair of shaped brass plate handles, above a further row of three drawers similarly fitted, all crossbanded in a contrasting veneer, above a shaped apron centred by a carved shell motif, on cabriole legs terminating in pad feet, the knees with a moulded edge.
The form, with its single long drawer over a tripartite arrangement of smaller drawers and shell-carved apron, is typical of the English lowboy of this period, conceived as a dressing or side table en suite with a tallboy or chest-on-stand. The walnut veneers, laid to show the figure of the timber to best advantage, and the cabriole leg with pad foot are consistent with manufacture in the first decades of the 18th century.
