Louis XV Rococo Bombe Commode in Teal Lacquer with Gilt Brass Ormolu

Design Inspiration

Drawn from the golden age of French Rococo, this bombe commode captures the exuberant elegance of the Louis XV court. Its signature serpentine silhouette, swelling curves, and asymmetric gilt scrollwork speak to an era where furniture was considered fine art. The striking teal lacquer finish, edged in gold, creates a bold yet aristocratic presence worthy of a palace interior.

Materials

Constructed from premium solid wood, the piece features a richly applied teal lacquer finish with gold-trimmed edges. The top surface is finished with a luminous ivory-gold border, while the body is embellished throughout with hand-applied gilt brass ormolu mounts — including foliate scrolls, floral cartouches, and central medallion hardware — all cast and finished in antique gold.

Craftsmanship

Every detail of this commode is shaped by the hands of Brass & Wood's master artisans in Egypt, who employ time-honored European joinery techniques alongside meticulous brass casting. The cabriole legs, curved drawer fronts, and ornamental sabots reflect dozens of hours of skilled handwork, ensuring each piece is a singular expression of classical luxury.
