lowboys

These, as well as lowboys, continued to be regularly used until well into the last quarter of the eighteenth century.

These came to be designated as "lowboys" in distinction from the chests mounted upon high legs, which were known as "highboys."

They had to hang chairs and tables and highboys and lowboys and such things from her spars, besides having an awful deckload.

It was in the Queen Anne period that highboys and lowboys made their first appearance.
