The bombe style, meaning "bulging" in French, features furniture with curved, outwardly swelling sides and front. Originating in 18th-century France during the Rococo period under Louis XV, it is celebrated for its graceful lines and curves.

Bombe furniture, such as the dresser, has rounded corners that taper inward toward the legs, creating a striking silhouette. These pieces often showcase intricate details like wood inlays, ornate carvings, and rich veneers, emphasizing elegance and craftsmanship. Common in chests, dressers, and cabinets, bombe furniture frequently includes marquetry, ormolu mounts, and marble accents, making it a sought-after element of European antique design.
