FAQs

French commodes evolved during the 17th and 18th centuries from low chests to sophisticated decorative cabinets used in royal and aristocratic residences, often featuring elaborate wood veneers and intricate marquetry patterns.

These pieces traditionally utilise exotic timber veneers such as kingwood, tulipwood, and mahogany laid over a sturdy oak or pine carcase, complemented by marble tops and cast gilt-bronze or ormolu mounts.

Authenticity is determined by examining the hand-cut wood veneers, traditional joinery methods such as hand-cut dovetails on the drawer construction, the weight and ageing of the marble top, and the quality of the bronze mounts.

Pairing this traditional statement piece with minimalist walls, contemporary lighting, and simple decorative objects creates a striking contrast that highlights the intricate woodwork and classic proportions.

Maintain the piece by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, dusting regularly with a dry cloth, and protecting the marble surface from acidic liquids and moisture.
