FAQs

A close stool, popular from the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries, was an early form of indoor commode consisting of a wooden cabinet or box designed to hold a chamber pot beneath a hinged lid.

These items were predominantly constructed from solid regional hardwoods such as oak or walnut, held together with wooden dowels or hand-forged iron nails and fitted with sturdy iron hinges.

Authentic period pieces exhibit signs of hand-planed timber, irregular pegged joinery, hand-wrought iron hardware, and a deep patination that develops naturally across centuries of wear.

In contemporary interior design, an oak close stool works effectively as a compact bedside table, an end-of-sofa side table, or a unique storage box in a hallway.

Regular dusting with a dry lint-free cloth and an annual application of beeswax polish will protect the timber finish, while keeping the item away from direct heat prevents cracking.
