Hi guys, today I've got a very special object for you in this trade market and this object

2
00:00:10,650 --> 00:00:20,429
is a clothes stool. So what is a clothes stool? It's an early type of portable toilet. As

3
00:00:20,429 --> 00:00:30,010
you can see, it has the shape of a cabinet or a box and it has a seating height. It has

4
00:00:30,010 --> 00:00:40,210
opening at the top and this structure contains a chamber pot inside and in

5
00:00:40,210 --> 00:00:47,170
this case it is extremely luxurious because this toilet used to belong to

6
00:00:47,170 --> 00:00:55,149
William the third. It's also very peculiar because it has a quite an

7
00:00:55,149 --> 00:01:06,090
interesting story attached to it. During the 1500s English kings used to appoint

8
00:01:06,090 --> 00:01:15,909
one member of their loyal servants as the groom of the stool. So this person

9
00:01:15,909 --> 00:01:27,510
had to be with the king while the king attended these private matters with the closed door.

10
00:01:27,510 --> 00:01:37,269
So the piece that I'm offering you today is extremely striking, it's unique and it's absolutely

11
00:01:37,269 --> 00:01:45,870
priceless. Just for you, you have this special opportunity to trade it with another object

12
00:01:45,870 --> 00:01:46,829
that you can offer me.
