FAQs

A Charles X commode is a style of chest of drawers dating from the French restoration period of the 1820s, characterised by clean architectural lines, minimal ornamentation, and a focus on figured wood veneers.

These pieces typically feature dense softwood carcases fully veneered in exotic or highly figured timbers such as birds eye maple, mahogany, or ash, frequently topped with heavy marble slabs.

Authenticity is determined by examining drawer construction details such as hand-cut dovetails, historical tool marks on secondary woods, the depth and oxidation of the veneer, and period-correct brass or gilt-bronze escutcheons.

Positioning the piece as a focal point in a neutral room allows the natural grain of the wood to stand out, complemented by minimalist modern art or simple ceramic vessels on the surface.

Protect antique veneer by keeping the piece away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent cracking, dusting gently with a dry microfibre cloth, and occasionally applying microcrystalline wax to nourish the finish.
