FAQs

A commode is a low chest of drawers originating in France during the 17th century, typically featuring decorative wood veneers and marquetry patterns.

These pieces traditionally incorporate fine timber frames such as kingwood, walnut, or mahogany, decorated with floral marquetry, gilt bronze mounts, and topped with shaped marble.

Authenticity is determined by examining hand-cut dovetail joints in the drawer construction, hand-chased brass or bronze mounts, and natural ageing within the timber and veneer.

A French commode works well as a focal point in a hallway or living room, contrasted with minimalist contemporary art and simple decorative accessories to highlight its craftsmanship.

Maintain the wood by applying microcrystalline wax sparingly, avoiding direct sunlight, and keeping the piece away from extreme temperature fluctuations to prevent veneer cracking.
