Country Made Antique Oak Lowboy, 18th Century

An attractive and sturdy oak lowboy table with a nicely shaped apron, three frieze drawers and cabriole legs with club feet. This dates from the 18th century. The condition overall is good but there are a few flaws to point out: The handles, though they appear to be old, are replacements and you can see marks on the drawer fronts where the originals would have been. The drawers have been lined with green baize/felt. Normally we would have removed this, but it is well stuck down and we decided it might do more harm than good so decided to leave it in place. The sides of the drawer boxes have in places had wood filler applied in the area where the dovetail joints are. This is only visible when the drawers are open. We feel that there is little to be done about this without risk of damage to the drawers. Other than that it is a charming piece of furniture in good order and would make a lovely little hall table or side table.
