Lot Essay

The most closely related type of furniture is a group of buckets, some on stands, that have doors in the front and which were used as commodes to conceal chamber pots. There is one that now lacks its door and its stand at Malahide Castle, Ireland (see: G.A. Kenyon, Irish Furniture at Malahide Castle, Dublin, 1994, p. 67) and another was sold anonymously, Sotheby's London, 10 July 1992, lot 127. It had both door and stand.
