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.
