Object Description
A Late 19th Century Ash And Beech Childs
Commode Chair Raised On Elegant Turned

(Children’s, or Childs, Chairs as the name suggests
were made throughout the 18th and 19th centuries
normally as scale models of their full size counterparts
for the children of the family to use. They come in all
sorts of scales, shapes and sizes dependent of course
on the age of the child they were initially made for and
the style of the existing furniture within a home. This is an
unusual example of a popular style with the original function
clearly having been as a commode type chair for a toddler.)
