Lowboy : ウィキペディア英語版
Lowboy
:
A lowboy is an American collectors term for one type of dressing table, or vanity.〔Lowboy is a "collectors term for a dressing table made in 18th century America often with a matching highboy ".〕 It is a small table with one or two rows of drawers, so called in contradistinction to the tallboy or highboy chest of drawers.
==History and description==

Both lowboy and tallboy were favourite pieces of the 18th century, both in England and in the United States; the lowboy was most frequently used as a dressing-table, but sometimes as a side-table. It is usually made of oak, walnut or mahogany, with the drawer-fronts mounted with brass pulls and escutcheons. The more elegant examples in the Queen Anne, early Georgian, and Chippendale styles often have cabriole legs, carved knees, and slipper or claw-and-ball feet. The fronts of some examples also are sculpted with the scallop-shell motif beneath the centre drawer.
Another term for a dressing table equipped with mirrors is vanity and is used to applying makeup or fashion accessories.
