FAQs

An 18th-century commode typically features serpentine or bombe profiles, curved cabriole legs, and elaborate ornamentation reflective of the Rococo or Baroque periods.

These pieces were constructed using solid secondary woods like oak or pine, veneered with exotic hardwoods, and decorated with intricate floral marquetry alongside hand-cast gilt-bronze or brass mounts.

Authenticity is determined by inspecting the hand-cut dovetail joints, traditional hand-planed secondary timbers, natural shrinkage patterns in the wood, and the quality of the hand-chiselled ormolu mounts.

Pairing an ornate antique commode with minimalist contemporary surroundings allows the intricate woodwork and sculptural silhouette to serve as a dramatic focal point.

Maintain stable indoor humidity and temperature levels, keep the piece away from direct sunlight, and periodically nourish the wood surface with high-quality microcrystalline wax.
