FAQs

A close stool is an antique piece of furniture designed to conceal a chamber pot, serving as a precursor to the modern indoor toilet before plumbed bathrooms became common in homes.

These items are typically constructed from solid native hardwoods such as oak or mahogany, featuring handcrafted joinery like dovetailing and fielded panels, often supported by turned feet and fitted with brass carrying handles or escutcheons.

Authenticity is determined by examining period-correct timber shrinkage, hand-cut joinery marks, original hardware such as brass drop handles and lock plates, and overall patination consistent with eighteenth-century craftsmanship.

This type of heritage item functions effectively as a standalone accent piece or small side cabinet in a traditional hallway, study, or period bathroom to add historical texture and enclosed storage.

Preserve the timber by maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, avoiding direct sunlight, and periodically applying microcrystalline wax to nourish the wood without damaging the historic finish.
