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

Italian Empire commodes from the 19th century draw inspiration from classical Greco-Roman architecture, featuring architectural elements such as column pilasters, symmetry, and heavy bases. They frequently incorporate highly figured wood veneers, such as walnut or mahogany, paired with marble tops.

These pieces typically feature solid timber frameworks with fine veneers such as walnut, rosewood, or mahogany applied to drawer fronts. Tops are often fashioned from native or imported marble, while drawer handles and escutcheons are constructed from cast brass or bronze.

Authentic 19th-century pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints on drawer linings, hand-sawn back panels, and natural wear around original locks or escutcheons. The marble top often shows subtle hand-finished bevels and historic surface wear rather than machine-cut precision.

A commode serves as a focal piece in a hallway, living area, or bedroom, pairing effectively with modern artwork mounted directly above the marble top. Balancing the rich walnut tone with clean architectural wall surfaces and subtle contemporary lighting accentuates its classical lines.

Dust the timber surfaces regularly with a soft cloth and apply beeswax sparingly to preserve the original patina. The marble top should be wiped with a damp cloth using pH-neutral liquid soap, avoiding acidic cleaning agents that etch or discolour the stone.
