FAQs

A French commode is a low, wide chest of drawers originating in late 17th-century France, characterized by decorative hand carvings, cabriole or tapered legs, and ornate metal hardware.

Traditional French commodes were constructed using solid hardwoods such as oak, walnut, or fruitwood, frequently finished with paint, milk finishes, or gesso, and trimmed with cast brass or bronze fittings.

Authentic pieces feature traditional joinery like hand-cut dovetails, asymmetric hand-carved motifs, original brass or bronze handles, and subtle movement or shrinkage lines in the solid wood components.

Position the piece as a focal point in an entryway, bedroom, or living area, pairing it with clean-lined contemporary artwork or a gilded mirror above to create a balanced contrast of textures.

Maintain the finish by dusting with a dry microfibre cloth, keeping the furniture away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent timber movement, and avoiding abrasive chemical cleaners.
