FAQs

Originating in France during the reign of Louis XIV, the commode evolved from a low cabinet into a sophisticated drawer chest that became a centrepiece of elite interior decoration.

These pieces are typically crafted from solid regional timbers such as oak, walnut, or fruitwood, utilising traditional joinery techniques including dovetail drawers and hand-forged iron or brass hardware.

Authenticity is determined by examining hand-cut dovetailing, tool marks on the timber, historical wear patterns, original hardware mounts, and traditional construction methods consistent with the period.

Pairing historical wooden furniture with clean walls and contemporary lighting creates a balanced scheme that highlights the natural grain and craftsmanship of the piece.

Maintain antique wood by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and treat it periodically with traditional beeswax to nourish the timber without damaging the finish.
