FAQs

The Louis XVI style emerged in France during the 18th century, marked by a return to classical symmetry, straight lines, and neoclassical motifs influenced by archaeological discoveries in Pompeii.

Traditional construction involves a solid wood carcase veneered with exotic woods such as walnut, kingwood, or mahogany, topped with marble slabs and accented with gilt bronze or brass mounts.

Authentication involves examining hand-cut dovetail joints, tool marks on the bronze mounts, the natural ageing of the wood grain, and the construction methods used on the drawer linings and carcase.

A French commode works well as a focal point in a living room or hallway, paired with contemporary abstract art or minimalist lamps to create a balanced contrast between old and new.

Preservation requires avoiding direct sunlight and extreme humidity fluctuations, cleaning timber surfaces with a soft, dry cloth, and refraining from using harsh chemical polishes on gilt bronze mounts.
