FAQs

A bombe commode is a distinct type of chest of drawers characterised by its convex, swelling sides and front curves, originating primarily in France during the Baroque and Rococo periods of the 18th century.

These pieces are traditionally constructed using a solid timber carcase veneered with exotic or native woods such as olive, walnut, or kingwood, frequently adorned with intricate marquetry and parquetry patterns alongside cast ormolu or brass mounts.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, traditional hand-applied finishes, natural wood shrinkage cracks behind veneers, and hand-chiselled bronze or brass hardware consistent with period manufacturing methods.

An antique commode functions effectively as a focal point in a contemporary setting when paired with minimalist modern artwork or clean-lined accessories, allowing the historic craftsmanship to contrast with clean architectural lines.

Preservation involves maintaining stable indoor humidity levels away from direct sunlight and heat sources, avoiding silicone-based polishes, and periodically nourishing the timber with traditional microcrystalline wax.
