FAQs

The bombe style, characterised by its distinctive outward-curving sides and front, originated in France during the Baroque and Rococo periods of the 18th century, becoming a hallmark of fine European cabinet-making.

These pieces are typically constructed using a solid carcase of secondary wood veneered with exotic timbers like walnut, kingwood, or mahogany, often featuring intricate parquet or marquetry patterns and cast bronze or ormolu mounts.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, traditional hand-mixed glues, natural timber shrinkage, and hand-chased metal mounts rather than modern cast fittings.

A bombe commode serves as a striking focal point in a contemporary hallway or living room, paired with minimalist art to contrast its ornate curves and rich timber grain.

Maintain the timber by avoiding direct sunlight and excessive humidity, applying quality beeswax periodically, and cleaning bronze mounts gently with a dry microfibre cloth.
