FAQs

Originally evolving in late seventeenth-century France from low cupboards and chests, the commode became a prominent piece of decorative and functional furniture designed with multiple drawers for storage.

Commodes of this style typically feature a carcase of secondary wood veneered with highly figured decorative veneers such as burr walnut, often complemented by solid timber mouldings and stone tops.

Authentication involves examining construction joints such as hand-cut dovetails on the drawer carcases, assessing the depth and natural patination of the timber, and checking for period-appropriate fixings and timber shrinkage.

Placing a traditional wooden chest within a modern setting adds textural contrast and warmth, allowing it to function as a focal point against minimalist backdrops.

Maintain stable indoor humidity and temperature levels to prevent veneer cracking, avoid direct sunlight to protect the wood colour, and clean surfaces periodically using a soft, dry cloth without harsh chemical polishes.
