FAQs

An 18th-century close stool, also known as a close box or night commode, is a piece of furniture designed to enclose a chamber pot, often disguised as a small chest or cabinet with drawers to maintain discretion in period bedchambers.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid native timber such as English oak, often featuring hand-cut dovetail joints, pegged construction, and brass hardware including carrying handles and decorative escutcheons.

Authenticity is identified by examining timber shrinkage, hand-tooled joinery marks, period-appropriate brass fittings, oxidisation patterns consistent with age, and the presence of secondary woods traditionally used in that era.

In a contemporary setting, such pieces function effectively as small side tables, bedside cabinets, or discrete storage units, adding historical texture and warmth to minimalist or transitional rooms.

Preservation requires maintaining stable indoor humidity levels away from direct heat sources, dusting regularly with a dry cloth, and occasionally applying traditional beeswax to nourish the timber finish.
