I thought so too, but here you go: Herbeau toilet of tackiness.

Before the advent of fancy Japanese toilets this must have been the height of pooping luxury

You pull the chain and it rings a bell to summon a butler who wipes your ass for you. Obviously.

If you are actually the King you have a "Groom of the High Stool" to wipe your Royal ass.

Doesn't that knob make a mark on the back part? Or maybe the back leans against that ridge on the back? Seems like either way it'be hard to sit up straight without risking that lid. Maybe I'm overthinking it. I am overthinking it, aren't I?🤔

I am guessing that the lid doesn't hinge at the back of it, and you just take the cover off for when it is time to drop the lord's wisdom and place it back over to cover it up when you are done.

I agree, I think the lid must come off completely and you have to set it aside. I don't see why the knob is necessary in the first place since it prevents you from sitting on the closed toilet. I also think the stiff vertical high back can't be comfortable for prolonged use lol.

My first thought was that the knob might be for "her royal entertainment." In the early days of indoor plumming, the toilet water tanks were installed way up high( for better flow?). Maybe the tall back was meant to hide a water tank?

Lol yeah at first I thought this was a dildo-on-the-chair joke.
But this isn't actually a historical or historically accurate creation, it's a modern design for rich people with no taste lol (there's a link in another comment). I think maybe the high, straight back is meant to torture the rich and stupid? Or at least make them increasingly uncomfortable while they poop.

Okay, it's a mock-antique toilet but it's actually a really tasteless modern fixture from a company called Herbeau. Awful taste, but is it great execution, or is it just expensive?

u/real-nia 13d ago
Yeah I actually think the execution is not great. The design is clunky, ugly, and clashes severely. The colors, materials, and style just don't mesh. It's needlessly expensive and isn't even that great looking. It doesn't even look like a throne, just a stiff wooden high back chair.
