In the early 18th century, craftsmen made the move from traditional styles to more rounded or curved designs. One item from this era that is still popular today is the bombe chest, a low cabinet made from wood, with a curved front. Early styles were often adorned with designs that were painted or lacquered, and were extremely popular in France in the 1750s.
Today’s bombe chests often have designs that are hand-painted instead of lacquered, and you will find them in a wide spectrum of colors to fit into any decorating scheme. Also, there are many styles and price ranges for most budgets.
