Bombe Chests Create a Unique Style for any Room

Even if you don't know what a bombe chest is, chances are that you've seen plenty of them throughout your life. It's a unique style of solid wood furniture that has been around for centuries, created and mastered by the French almost 300 years ago during the Regence period.

Bombe chests have the appearance of a small chest with drawers or a petite dresser. There are a couple unique characteristics that set bombe chests apart from the rest, however.

The main difference begins with the overall shape of the piece. Instead of having straight edges and square lines, bombe chests will be curved and rounded in the front where the drawers are and sometimes on the sides as well. This creates a unique, elegant style not found with traditional dressers or chests of drawers. It can definitely be the centerpiece of a room, standing out from the rest of your furniture.

Another important difference almost always found on a true bombe chest is the integration of some type of art. Many times this will be in the form of hand-painted motifs, which makes each piece even more unique and stylish since no two are exactly alike. Almost 300 years ago, when bombe chests were first being made by the French they found inspiration in mythology and the Orient. Thus, most of the painted accents were themed with dragons, flowers, and shells. Floral patterns are still very popular today.

Many people mistakenly call them Bombay Chests because they don't know how to spell it or have seen spelled that way somewhere else. This can become confusing because furniture made in Bombay, India is completely different than what I am discussing in this article. Make sure you spell the name correctly or you could be in for a big surprise when searching for your bombe chest.

The most popular use of these chests is to store dining room items such as linens, candles, placemats, and silverware. But don't be fooled in to thinking they can't be a beautiful addition to any room in your house. The stunning look, elegant curves, and hand-painted motifs make it a unique piece of art worthy of showcasing.

A great place to find these bombe chests is online. You may have visited a local furniture retailer and been turned away by only pricey, expensive options. Well, I'm here to let you know these same incredible chests can be found at a super discount online due to the competition between rival websites. Search the web and find the perfect one for you now. Happy shopping!
