FAQs

An Italian commode is a low storage chest fitted with drawers, originating in the 18th century and characterised by decorative painted finishes, serpentine profiles, and carved feet.

Traditional commodes were crafted using regional hardwoods or softwoods like pine, coated in gesso, and finished with layered tempera or oil-based paints and metal hardware.

Authentic period pieces exhibit natural paint wear around handles and edges, hand-cut dovetail joints, original iron or brass escutcheons, and signs of aged timber shrinkage on the drawer bottoms.

Place a painted commode in a hallway, bedroom, or living area to introduce colour and texture, pairing its patinated finish with contemporary artwork or structured table lamps.

Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust, avoiding damp sponges, commercial solvents, or chemical polishes that can degrade historic painted surfaces.
