FAQs

The Louis XVI style emerged in France during the 1770s, moving away from the curved lines of the Rococo period in favour of neoclassical symmetry, straight lines, and geometric proportions.

These commodes typically feature hardwood carcasses veneered with exotic woods such as walnut, mahogany, or kingwood, often accented with hand-cut marquetry patterns and cast brass hardware.

Authentication involves inspecting the internal drawer construction for hand-cut dovetailing, checking the wood species used for secondary framing, and examining the wear patterns on the drawer runners and brass mounts.

Pair the classical wood tones with minimalist modern decor, such as a contemporary abstract mirror or simple ceramic sculptures, to create a balanced eclectic aesthetic.

Maintain wood furniture by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth, and applying microcrystalline wax periodically to nourish the surface.
