FAQs

An 18th-century Provencal commode is a traditional French chest of drawers originating from the Provence region, characterised by regional hand-carved motifs, cabriole legs, and local fruitwoods or walnut.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid regional hardwoods such as walnut, chestnut, or cherry, featuring hand-cut dovetail joints, pegged construction, and cast brass hardware.

Authenticity is determined by inspecting the hand-cut dovetails, tool marks on the timber, period-correct brass escutcheons, and natural patina that indicates age and honest wear.

An antique commode functions effectively as a focal point in a living room or hallway, contrasting clean modern walls with rich wood tones and historical texture.

Preserve antique walnut by maintaining stable room humidity, avoiding direct sunlight, and periodically applying microcrystalline wax to nourish and protect the timber.
