Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A French parquetry commode is a low cabinet or chest of drawers featuring geometric wood veneer inlay patterns across its drawer fronts and sides. Developed prominently during the 18th century, these pieces frequently feature serpentine fronts, cast brass or bronze mounts, and thick shaped marble tops.

These commodes are typically constructed using solid hardwood frames faced with fine veneers such as kingwood, tulipwood, rosewood, or walnut. Tops are fashioned from substantial slabs of natural marble, while handles, escutcheons, and corner sabots are cast in brass or bronze.

Authentic items show hand-cut dovetail joints on drawers, original oxidisation on timber undersides, and hand-cast metal hardware with irregular casting marks. The marble top should show natural veining and historical wear along its bevelled edges, contoured to match the wood frame underneath.

A marble-top commode functions well as a focal point in an entryway, dining room, or principal bedroom. Contemporary styling pairs the dark veneered woodwork with minimalist wall art, subtle stone lamps, or a pared-back gilt mirror hung directly above the marble surface.

Marble surfaces must be protected from acidic liquids using coasters, wiping spills immediately with a neutral pH cleaner. Timber veneers require placement away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent shrinkage, finished periodically with a microcrystalline wax polish applied along the grain.
