FAQs

The Louis XVI style emerged in France during the late 18th century as a reaction against the excessive curves of Rococo, favouring neoclassical symmetry, straight lines, classical columns, and architectural restraint.

These pieces were typically constructed from a pine or oak carcass, veneered with exotic timbers like satinwood or mahogany, and frequently topped with imported marble slabs and accented with gilt-bronze mounts.

Authenticity is determined by hand-cut dovetail joints, traditional timber shrinkage patterns, hand-forged iron or brass fixings, and internal construction methods consistent with period French cabinet-making techniques.

A period commode provides a strong focal point in a modern room when paired with minimalist contemporary art, neutral walls, and clean-lined contemporary seating to create a balanced contrast of eras.

Protect satinwood surfaces by maintaining stable room humidity, avoiding direct sunlight, and applying occasional micro-crystalline wax. Clean marble tops using only neutral, non-acidic soap and water to prevent etching.
