You’re looking at what might be the most dignified little potty in American history. Styled like a proper New England Captain’s Chair—but scaled down for tiny, untrained behinds—this 19th-century wooden seat was made for the most important mission of early childhood: learning to go like a grown-up.
Crafted in the late 1800s, it's got all the hallmarks of early American utility with just enough flair to remind you someone cared. The wraparound spindle back and splayed legs scream “respectable furniture,” while the hand-painted floral detail on the backrest gives it that little pop of charm.
The original insert cover is still intact (albeit a bit battle-worn, as you'd expect from 140 years of service), and the seat lifts out to reveal the business end of this operation. The wear is honest. The surface is dry, rubbed, and timeworn in a way that feels poetic, not pitiful.
