Charming late 17th-Century Oak Lowboy Side Table with Great Patina

A delightful late 17th-century oak lowboy side table, circa 1680, of small, elegant proportions and with a superb rich colour and patina. The table features a solid two plank oak top with beautiful grain with a generous overhang and depth of tone, above a single moulded working drawer. The drawer front is fitted with original period solid carved brass drop handles. Standing on finely turned bulbous legs, united by the original stretchers and terminating in turned feet, this piece retains its original top, rear backboard, legs and stretchers. The frame is traditionally made using mortise and tenon joints secured with pegs, as you would expect of the period. The oak has developed a wonderfully warm, mellow surface from over three centuries of careful use and polishing, giving the table real depth of character. Solid, stable and ready to use, it is ideal as a side table in a hallway, beside a chair or sofa as a lamp table, or as an accent piece in a bedroom or study. Made in England circa 1680, this is a highly decorative yet practical example of early oak furniture, equally at home in a period setting or as a striking contrast in a contemporary interior, a true collector’s piece with charm and presence.
