FAQs

Introduced during the eighteenth century, bidet stools were personal hygiene furnishings common in affluent European households. Designed with discreet wooden covers, they concealed removable ceramic, pewter, or tin basins to blend seamlessly into bedchamber decor.

These items were predominantly constructed from dense timbers such as mahogany or walnut. They typically featured hand-turned legs, hand-cut dovetail joinery, and a fitted lift-off or hinged lid housing an internal aperture for a basin.

Authentic pieces feature period-correct joinery, natural wear consistent with eighteenth-century origin, and hand-turned leg profiles. Removing the top lid generally reveals an internal wooden shelf carved with a circular or oval cutout designed to secure a basin.

With the top closed, a bidet stool functions effectively as a compact occasional side table, lamp stand, or unique bedside table. Its clean rectangular geometry and warm timber tones complement both traditional and modern eclectic settings.

Maintain the finish by dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth and applying a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year. Keep the piece clear of direct heat sources and standing moisture to prevent wood shrinkage or cracking.
