Antique French Provincial Louis XVI Painted Cane Bidet Stool

About the Item

A charming antique French Louis XVI style painted bidet stool (today it would make for a wonderful end table, plant stand or functional stool) Born in Provincial France in the 19th century, having a cream painted solid wood frame with hinged rectangular cane woven seat, opening to cutout that once housed a porcelain chamberpot, rising on turned H-stretcher joined legs. *Please note, at the time of writing this, we have a similarly styled pair of Louis XVI style painted chairs available (shown in the photo) Dimensions: (approx) 17" High, 19.25" Wide, 13" Deep Similar to a close stool (necessary stool - thunderbox), potty chair, bedside night commode or chaise percée, this old fashioned bidet is a wonderful reminder of how the times have changed with modern day hygiene. A fabulous curiosity, in addition to perspective, this bidet is a wonderful way to add whimsical elegance, Provincial warmth and historical depth to any space!
