FAQs

A bombe sideboard is characterised by its convex, outward-curving front and sides, a design signature popularised during the French Rococo and Louis XV periods. These pieces typically showcase decorative wood veneers, curved silhouettes, and cast metal handles.

Traditional French sideboards of this style were crafted using solid hardwood framing, often oak or walnut, topped with decorative burr walnut or rosewood veneers. Hardware typically consists of cast brass or bronze escutcheons and handles.

Authentic pieces feature highly figured grain patterns from walnut burls applied in symmetrical veneer matching, alongside hand-cut joinery such as dovetail joints. Looking at the reverse and underside reveals hand-sawn secondary timbers and original hardware fixings.

Position the piece as a focal point against a neutral backdrop to highlight the timber grain and silhouette. Balance the ornate curved woodwork by displaying minimalist ceramics or contemporary artwork above the cabinet.

Maintain burr walnut surfaces by applying a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, wiping along the grain. Keep the item away from direct sunlight and central heating sources to prevent veneer cracking or colour fading.
