FAQs

Louis XV furniture, originating in 18th-century France, is characterised by curvilinear shapes, serpentine fronts, cabriole legs, and asymmetric ornamental carving known as rocaille.

Regional French commodes were frequently constructed from solid native hardwoods such as oak, walnut, or fruitwood, fitted with cast brass handles and decorative escutcheons.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-sawn timber, dovetail jointing on drawers, hand-forged iron or cast brass hardware, and natural timber shrinkage or surface patina consistent with age.

A Louis XV commode functions as a focal piece in an entrance hall, bedroom, or reception room, serving as storage while contrasting with clean-lined contemporary artwork and modern lighting.

Keep the timber away from direct heat sources and sunlight, dust regularly with a soft dry cloth, and apply natural beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year to preserve the surface finish.
