FAQs

The bombe style is characterised by its distinctive outward-curving, swollen front and sides, which became prominent during the Louis XV and Rococo periods.

Craftsmen typically utilised dense hardwoods like kingwood or oak as a carcase, overlaid with intricate floral marquetry veneers and accented with cast gilt-bronze or brass mounts.

Authenticity is evaluated through traditional construction methods, such as hand-cut dovetail joints in the drawer construction, natural shrinkage patterns in the timber, and the quality of the hand-chased metal mounts.

Pairing the curved silhouette and ornate metalwork of the commode against clean, neutral modern walls creates a striking focal point that highlights its sculptural form.

Maintain the wood by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and periodically apply microcrystalline wax to nourish the delicate veneer and protect the finish.
