It certainly looks like it was a comode at some time in the past hence the drawer for extracting the chamber pot in the morning.

I would say very old pine meself.

Don't think it was ever a commode. The chamber pot usually lifted out from the top with them (they were still just in use in some cottages "when I were a lad"!). The chairs with a drawer like that are usually labelled "nursing chairs" or nursery chairs, and the drawer was used for nappies etc.

The whole thing is very much in the style of the furniture that was made around my homeland on the Welsh border - we still have a tallboy that is so similar in style it could be by the same guy.

True Dick....you are probably right.

I know that the top usually opens on most I have seen.

What ever the mechanics are I reckon that it is very old pine. Nice jobbie too!
