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

Originating in eighteenth-century France, the bombe commode is defined by its outward-curving convex profile along the front and sides. The style heavily incorporates Rococo design elements, including naturalistic marquetry, asymmetrical ormolu mounts, and contoured marble tops.

These commodes are typically constructed from a soft-wood frame overlaid with precious hardwood veneers such as walnut, kingwood, or tulipwood. They are fitted with cast bronze or brass mounts (ormolu) and topped with a heavy, thick slab of carved marble.

Authentic pieces display hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawer lining, hand-planed timber surfaces on the reverse, and naturally irregular shrinkage lines in the veneer. The marble top usually features an unpolished underside showing hand-chisel marks.

A bombe commode functions well as a focal piece in a hallway, bedroom, or living room. Placing it against a neutral wall allows the intricate wood grain, dark marble, and gilded hardware to contrast without cluttering the visual space.

Dust the wood veneer regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and apply beeswax sparingly along the wood grain. Clean the marble top using a pH-neutral cleaner specifically formulated for stone to prevent etching from acidic liquids.
