The Louis XV or Louis XVI chamber pot or commode chair is a fairly simple piece of furniture consisting of a wide apron to conceal the chamber pot. This commode chair has the classic forms characteristic of the Louis XVI style.
Its seat has a hole for the metal or ceramic chamber pot or basin. Sometimes a lid covers this opening to restore the chair to its simple function as a seat.
