FAQs

Louis XVI furniture, originating in late 18th-century France, is characterised by Neoclassical design principles, including straight architectural lines, geometric symmetry, fluted tapered legs, and classical brass ornamentation.

Traditional 18th-century French commodes were constructed with solid oak or pine carcases, finished with wood veneers or ebonised lacquer, and topped with marble slabs and cast brass mounts.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints, hand-sawn oak drawer linings, cast brass hardware secured with hand-cut screws, and evidence of historical wear on the marble undersides and structural framework.

An ebonised commode provides visual contrast against neutral walls and pairs with modern artwork, architectural lighting, or contemporary glass vessels positioned on the marble top.

Clean the marble top using a soft cloth and pH-neutral stone cleaner to prevent etching, dust the ebonised surfaces with a dry microfibre cloth, and polish the brass hardware gently to prevent excess oxidisation.
