FAQs

The Louis XVI style emerged in France during the 18th century as a reaction against the curves of Rococo, favouring classical symmetry, straight lines, geometric forms, and architectural motifs inspired by ancient Greco-Roman ruins.

These pieces typically featured a carcase of native timbers like oak or pine, veneered in exotic or domestic hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, or fruitwood, and frequently topped with slabs of imported marble.

Authenticity is determined by examining construction methods such as hand-cut dovetails on the drawer linings, traditional joinery, original fire-gilt bronze mounts, and natural age-related wear to the timber and marble undersides.

A classic commode functions effectively as a focal point in a modern bedroom or hallway, where pairing its neoclassical lines with minimalist contemporary artwork or modern lighting creates a balanced transitional aesthetic.

Maintain the piece by dusting regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, feeding the wood periodically with traditional beeswax, and sealing the marble top to prevent staining from liquids.
