FAQs

The Directoire style emerged in France during the transitional period between Louis XVI and the Empire style, spanning the late eighteenth century. It is characterised by a shift toward neoclassical simplicity, drawing inspiration from ancient Roman and Greek designs while retaining refined elegance.

Authentic period commodes typically feature solid timber carcasses finished with veneers or ebonised coatings, frequently topped with imported marble slabs. Construction methods rely on hand-cut dovetail joints in the drawer construction and traditional mortise and tenon framing.

Authenticity is determined by examining timber shrinkage, hand-cut dovetails, tool marks on the interior components, and the composition of the marble top. Original brass or gilt-bronze mounts and period locks also provide reliable indicators of age and origin.

An ebonised commode serves as a striking focal point when paired with minimalist modern art, neutral walls, and contrasting textures. Its dark finish and marble top ground a room, making it suitable for both traditional spaces and contemporary architectural settings.

Maintain antique wood by applying specialist natural wax sparingly and avoiding direct sunlight and moisture fluctuations. Clean marble surfaces using a soft, damp cloth and pH-neutral soap, avoiding acidic cleaning agents that can etch the stone.
