The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Originating in the 18th century and continuing into the 19th century, a Rococo serpentine commode is a low chest of drawers characterised by an undulating, double-curved front profile known as a serpentine shape.

These pieces were traditionally crafted from softwoods or hardwoods such as pine or oak, featuring hand-dovetailed drawer joints, carved cabriole feet, and cast brass handles or escutcheons.

Authentic examples display natural wear to the painted surface around high-touch points, hand-planed back boards, irregular dovetail jointing, and period-correct cast metal hardware with natural patination.

Position the piece in an entryway or bedroom as a structural anchor, balancing its curved profile by pairing it with simple contemporary artwork, table lamps, or minimal decorative objects.

Dust the surface regularly with a dry, lint-free cloth and apply a neutral clear wax sparingly to protect the painted finish and smooth the wooden drawer runners.
