The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Originating in 18th-century France, a commode is a low cabinet or chest fitted with drawers designed for prominent storage and display in reception rooms and bedrooms. Regional French provincial designs blended traditional rural woodworking with Parisian styles such as Louis XV.

These pieces were predominantly crafted from solid native hardwoods such as walnut, oak, or fruitwood. Construction features included hand-cut dovetail joints, hand-carved drawer fronts, and hand-forged iron or cast brass hardware.

Authentic 18th-century pieces typically show evidence of hand-planing on rear panels and interior drawer surfaces, irregular dovetail joints, original key escutcheons, and natural wood shrinkage consistent with age.

Position the piece as a central focus in an entryway, living room, or bedroom, paired with contemporary wall art above and minimalist ceramic objects on top to create a contrast between traditional craftsmanship and modern design.

Maintain the finish by dusting regularly with a soft, dry lint-free cloth and applying a clear beeswax polish annually, keeping the timber away from direct heat sources and fluctuating humidity levels.
