FAQs

Originating in the 18th century, bedside commodes were functional bedroom items designed to house chamber pots discreetly while offering a top surface for lighting and personal items.

Most authentic Georgian pieces were constructed using solid mahogany, often featuring flame mahogany or burr veneers, hand-cut dovetail joints, and oak or pine secondary woods.

Look for hallmarks of 18th-century cabinetmaking, such as hand-sawn timber marks, natural aged oxidation, uneven drawer linings, and hand-cut dovetail construction.

These pieces function effectively as nightstands in bedrooms or as side tables in living rooms, bridging traditional wood grain with contemporary lighting and soft furnishings.

Dust regularly with a dry, lint-free cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish annually, keeping the item away from direct heat sources to prevent timber movement.
