FAQs

Eighteenth-century French commodes are characterised by serpentine or bombe silhouettes, cabriole legs, and elaborate brass or gilt-bronze mounts, reflecting the transition from Louis XIV extravagance to the more fluid curves of the Rococo movement.

These pieces typically feature solid timber carcasses made of native European woods such as walnut or oak, often decorated with highly figured veneers, hand-cut dovetail joints, and traditional pegged construction.

Authentic pieces are identified by hand-cut dovetailing, irregular tool marks, old timber shrinkage patterns, hand-cast brass hardware fastened with hand-threaded screws, and appropriate patination consistent with age and usage.

A period commode provides a strong focal point in a contemporary setting when contrasted with minimalist walls and sleek lighting, allowing the rich wooden textures and historical craftsmanship to stand out.

Preserve antique wood by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent cracking, maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, and dusting gently with a dry, soft cloth without applying modern silicone-based polishes.
