An elegant Georgian two-drawer Lowboy - reimagined with a decorative twist and our unique hand-painted finish Date: English, 18th Century Georgian era Provenance: England Condition: Good Materials: Original frame later specialist paint finish; original brass drop handles and backplates Top: Hand-painted faux marble design in mottled powdery grey-blue and white Base: Individually mixed paint colours with hand-painted decorative design Dimensions: H: 69cm (27.2") | W: 78cm (30.7") | D: 48cm (18.9") Delivery: Mainland UK included (excludes Trade purchases) Timeless Georgian Elegance This Lowboy was crafted during a time of profound transformation - a time of Enlightenment, empire, and artistic achievement - that legacy is in its grain and it echoes that spirit with elegant proportions and enduring materials. Its refined carcass work - the decorative apron below the drawers and the canted shape to the legs - is balanced by practical details: twin drawers with original drop handles. You can see softened corners, faint grain telegraphing beneath the paint, and a calm, even sheen rather than gloss. This is the look of a well-kept survivor - quietly sophisticated, never contrived. It speaks to collectors, designers, and those who value history not as nostalgia, but as inspiration. The Georgian Era The Georgian Era signified a transition from rationalism to romanticism, and the century was marked by profound social, mercantile and religious transformations within the British Empire, paving the way for the distinctive, modern culture of the Victorian Era. This era saw the influence of the Enlightenment spread across the Atlantic, witnessed political and social reforms, significant achievements in art and literature, and observed the rise of the world's first industrialized nation, all amid confrontations with British adversaries like George Washington and Napoleon Bonaparte. Historically Significant Events 1760-1800 When this table was created, Britain stood as the pre-eminent Empire globally, with numerous transformative changes on the horizon over the subsequent 30 years. 1760 - George III ascends to the throne of England in 1760 - The onset of the Industrial Revolution in 1766 - James Watt's invention of the Steam Engine in 1773 - The Boston Tea Party in 1776 - The approval of the Declaration of Independence in 1789 - The commencement of the French Revolution in 1798 - Battle of the Nile: Horatio Nelson’s defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte Styling Suggestions This Lowboy’s compact proportions and decorative finish make it remarkably versatile. Place it in a hallway or entrance as a statement console, topped with a mirror to echo its Georgian refinement. In a sitting room, let it anchor a reading nook with a lamp and a stack of well‑loved books. It also works beautifully as a bedside table in a guest room, where its unique hand‑painted faux marble top can be appreciated up close. Pair with period‑inspired accessories or contrast with contemporary art to highlight its individuality.
