FAQs

Emerging in late 17th and 18th-century France, a commode is a low chest of drawers designed for prominent display and practical storage, often featuring decorative carved facades and curved cabriole legs characteristic of the Louis XV period.

Primary frames were typically crafted from hardwoods such as oak, walnut, or fruitwoods, which were then finished with gesso and hand-applied milk or oil-based paints, complemented by cast brass or bronze escutcheons and drop handles.

Authentic period pieces generally display hand-sawn wood construction, peg-and-tenon joinery, natural wear to painted surfaces, authentic oxidisation on metal hardware, and hand-cut dovetailed drawer joints.

Position the commode as a focal point in an entryway, bedroom, or living space, pairing its textured painted surface with contemporary minimalist artwork or a large framed mirror mounted above.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth, avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive materials, and position the timber away from direct heat sources and high humidity to prevent paint flaking or wood warping.
