FAQs

The Louis XVI style emerged in France during the late 18th century, characterised by a return to classical symmetry, straight lines, fluted pilasters, and restrained neoclassical ornamentation, diverging from the previous ornate Rococo movement.

Traditional commodes are constructed from solid timber carcases such as oak, pine, or beech, often veneered in exotic woods like mahogany or walnut, and frequently finished with white marble tops and cast brass or bronze hardware.

Authentication involves examining construction methods, such as hand-cut dovetail joints, tool marks on timber, original hardware fixings, and natural ageing patterns like timber shrinkage and wear consistent with age.

A classic French commode provides a sophisticated contrast in modern spaces when paired with minimalist artwork, contemporary lighting, or clean-lined seating, allowing the historical craftsmanship to serve as a focal point.

Painted surfaces should be dusted gently with a dry, soft cloth, avoiding abrasive chemical cleaners. Marble tops require periodic sealing and immediate wiping of acidic liquids like wine or citrus to prevent staining.
