FAQs

The Louis XVI style emerged in France during the late 18th century as a reaction against the curves of the Rococo period, favouring neoclassical straight lines, geometric symmetry, classical columns, and restrained ornamentation.

Authentic pieces were typically constructed from solid timber carcasses such as oak or pine, frequently veneered with exotic woods like mahogany or walnut, and finished with marble tabletops and cast brass or gilt-bronze hardware.

Authenticity is determined by examining construction techniques, such as hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawer boxes, traditional tool marks, timber shrinkage patterns, and period-appropriate hand-cast brass mounts.

An antique commode serves as a striking focal point when paired with minimalist contemporary decor, contemporary artwork, or paired with a sleek mirror to create a deliberate contrast between eras.

Maintain antique wooden pieces by keeping them away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber cracking, dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth, and occasionally applying appropriate microcrystalline wax.
