FAQs

The bidet originated in France during the late 17th or early 18th century and became an essential piece of private hygiene furniture in affluent bedrooms and dressing rooms throughout the 19th century before modern indoor plumbing became standard.

These items are typically constructed from dense hardwoods like solid mahogany, often featuring hand-cut dovetail joints, turned legs, and occasionally incorporating internal ceramic basins or lead-lined compartments.

Authenticity is determined by examining the timber patina, tool marks, joinery techniques such as hand-cut dovetailing, and the presence of period-appropriate fixings or remnants of historic ceramic liners.

In contemporary spaces, these pieces are frequently repurposed as low occasional tables, plant stands, or unique decorative accents in traditional bathrooms and dressing rooms.

Preservation involves maintaining stable ambient humidity and temperature levels away from direct sunlight and heat sources, treating the wood periodically with appropriate microcrystalline wax, and avoiding harsh liquid cleaners.
