FAQs

A close stool is an early form of indoor sanitation furniture, typically featuring a wooden cabinet or enclosure housing a chamber pot before the advent of indoor plumbing.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid quarter-sawn oak using traditional joinery such as mortise and tenon, often accented with brass handles and hinges.

Authenticity is determined by examining timber grain oxidation, hand-cut dovetailing, period-correct brass hardware, and construction wear consistent with eighteenth-century craftsmanship.

This piece functions effectively as a compact side table or bedside cabinet, adding historical texture and rich wood tones to contemporary living spaces.

Preserve the timber by maintaining stable humidity levels away from direct heat sources, and apply traditional beeswax periodically to nourish the aged finish.
