About the Item

This magnificent piece of history, a French Louis XV-period (18th century) commode chair, meticulously crafted from high-quality beechwood with brass tack-bound leather over back padding. This antique chair has been immaculately preserved and is in its original condition, a true testament to the craftsmanship of the era. The seat of the chair is designed to be removed, exposing a hidden cavity that once held a chamber pot, making it a functional and practical piece of furniture. The chamber pot is not included with the chair, but it adds to the authenticity of the antique. Additionally, the top of the backrest flips up to reveal a hidden storage compartment, which was likely used for toiletries. This rare and collectible commode chair is a testament to the sophistication and elegance of French design during the Louis XV period. It has been expertly crafted with exquisite attention to detail, making it an ideal addition to any antique collection.
