This Georgian close stool from the 18th century is constructed from oak with visible timber grain in a dark brown finish. The piece takes the form of a rectangular box measuring 43 cm high, 48 cm wide and 38 cm deep, incorporating a flat hinged lifting lid at the top and a shaped apron along the plinth base. The front facade displays faux graduated drawer configurations with two short upper divisions and three long lower false drawer fronts outlined by moulding details. In a contemporary home, this compact item functions well as a bedside table or side cabinet in a bedroom or hallway, offering concealed interior storage beneath the top surface. The construction shows pegged joinery details around the timber framing and iron elements on the structure, presenting a traditional English country house aesthetic suitable for period interiors.

FAQs

A close stool was an enclosed piece of furniture designed to house a chamber pot, constructed to resemble a small chest of drawers or bedside cabinet during the Georgian era.

These items were predominantly constructed from solid native hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, or walnut, featuring traditional joinery techniques including dovetails and wooden pegs.

Authentic examples feature hand-planed timber surfaces, historical hardware, irregular hand-cut joinery, and structural indications inside where a ceramic vessel originally sat.

A close stool functions effectively as an occasional side table, bedside nightstand, or decorative storage box within contemporary living spaces and bedrooms.

Maintain the timber by dusting regularly with a dry cloth and applying a clear beeswax polish annually to protect the surface finish and natural patina.
