Lowboy, England Ca. 1730

Great Britain Ca. 1730

A lowboy of British origin from the 1st half of the 18th Century. While this is a typical form it has the unusual feature of being made from cherry. The original cotter pin fastened handles and engraved brass appear to be original, pointing to the earlier part of the 1st half of the 18th century.

Except for the top, the finish appears to be very early or original.

Pair of English Lyre Back Mahogany Side Chairs

A great decorative pair of late 18th century George III side chairs. The design of the backs is based on the ancient Greek stringed musical instrument that is undoubtedly the root of the fully developed modern concert pedal harp. The earliest depiction of a lyre is thought to be from Sumeria around 2800 BC.
