Sure can, it's an Empire style commode, the chamberpot would have been stored behind the door ;~)In the days of no indoor plumbing every bedroom would have had a variation of one of these "Thunder mug" holders. It looks like it's tiger maple, which is just a little bit rare compared to examples in less figured hardwoods.

Awesome! Thank you so much! No one believed me when I said it looked like a seat! Any idea of how much something like this would be worth? I will do some more research now . . . how exciting!
