FAQs

A close stool, also known as a night commode or enclosed stool, is an 18th-century piece of cabinet furniture designed to conceal a chamber pot. They were crafted to blend with high-end bedroom furniture, often disguised as miniature chests of drawers or small cupboards.

These items were predominantly constructed from solid hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, or walnut, often featuring cast brass drop handles, brass escutcheons, and iron hinges. Interior linings sometimes utilised secondary woods like pine or poplar.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, hand-planed timber surfaces, and original cast brass hardware showing natural surface oxidisation. Look for a hinged top lid or false drawer fronts that disguise the internal storage chamber.

An antique close stool works effectively as a bedside table or side table beside an armchair. Its internal storage compartment offers functional space for books and personal items while adding historical character to contemporary interior schemes.

Dust the wooden surfaces regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply beeswax polish annually to preserve the timber finish. Keep the piece away from direct heat sources and excessive moisture to prevent wood shrinkage and joint movement.
