FAQs

A bombe commode is an 18th-century chest of drawers characterised by its distinctively curved, convex sides and front, heavily associated with the Rococo period in France.

These pieces typically feature a carcase of oak or pine, veneered with exotic woods such as kingwood or tulipwood, and adorned with gilt-bronze or ormolu mounts and marble tops.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, traditional hand-mixed glues, natural timber shrinkage, hand-chiselled ormolu mounts, and period-appropriate wood species without modern hardware.

Placing this ornate piece against a neutral, minimalist backdrop allows the intricate marquetry and curved silhouette to act as a focal point without overwhelming the space.

Maintain wood with microcrystalline wax applied sparingly, avoid direct sunlight and rapid humidity changes, and clean gilt-bronze mounts gently with a soft, dry cloth.
