FAQs

A French bombe commode is a chest of drawers characterised by its outward-swelling, convex front and sides. Originating during the Rococo and Louis XV periods of the 18th century, the design features curved silhouettes, carved aprons, short cabriole legs, and frequently a contoured marble top.

Commodes from this era were constructed using dense hardwoods such as oak, walnut, or fruitwood for the frame. Surface treatments included ebonised finishes, hand-applied veneers, or marquetry, typically complemented by hand-carved stone or marble surfaces and cast brass hardware.

Authentic period commodes display signs of hand construction, including hand-cut dovetail joints, irregular hand-sawn wood backings, and chiseled undersides on marble tops. Cast brass mounts from the period often show oxidisation and hand-chased surface details.

A bombe commode functions well as a focal piece in an entryway, dining room, or principal bedroom. Contemporary styling pairs the dark, curved wooden silhouette with minimalist artwork, metallic sconces, or modern ceramics placed on the marble surface.

Dust the timber with a dry microfibre cloth and apply neutral bees wax periodically to protect the original finish, avoiding harsh liquid cleaners. The marble top should be wiped with a ph-neutral damp cloth and protected from acidic substances to prevent etching.
