[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 401614, member: 5066"]Well, here is what Wheeler says about this piece but to me, the legs scream Queen Anne. "This rare lowboy is a transitional piece, showing the characteristics of the William and Mary period as well as the Queen Anne period. The slate inlay and the drawer headings are reminiscent of early William and Mary dressing tables, while the general design is typically Queen Anne. The original piece was painted, the case portion and legs in red and the top, acorn drops, and drawer outlines in black. Our lowboy is constructed in the same fashion as the original. The top is secured by four wooden pegs, and the internal construction exhibits the earlier, wider dovetails. We offer this lowboy in old paint or in natural stain. The color of the slate is black."[/QUOTE]
