EDITORS COMMENTS
Francis Borelli's Lowboy, created around 1938, is a stunning example of American decorative arts from the 1930s and 1940s. This hand-carved masterpiece, by the renowned artist and furniture designer, showcases intricate detail and exquisite craftsmanship. The lowboy table, with its embellished surface, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the United States during this period. Borelli's Lowboy is a work of art in itself, with its carved wood design that is both functional and decorative. The table, which is adorned with colorful watercolor, colored pencil, and graphite on paperboard, is a unique blend of traditional woodcarving techniques and modern artistic expression. The table's surface is covered in intricate patterns and geometric shapes, each one meticulously carved by Borelli's skilled hand. The Lowboy table, which is a type of chest of drawers that sits closer to the ground than a typical table, was a popular piece of furniture during the 1930s and 1940s. It was often used as a side table or a display piece, and its low height made it a practical choice for smaller spaces. This Lowboy table by Francis Borelli is now part of the Index of American Design collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The Index of American Design is a comprehensive catalog of American decorative arts and folk art from the Colonial period to the 1940s. The collection is an important resource for scholars and enthusiasts of American art and design, and it provides valuable insights into the cultural and historical context of the period. Borelli's Lowboy is a true masterpiece of American art and design, and it continues to inspire and captivate audiences today. Its intricate carvings, vibrant colors, and rich history make it a must-see for anyone interested in the artistic heritage of the United States.
