1303 Bedside Cabinets An Interresting History
Most people born in the UK after 1945 will never have known just what it was like to live in a house with no bathroom and where the toilet was in a shed at the end of the garden.
This was the standard way of life for the majority of the population so, given the distance and inconvenience of visiting the toilet late at night, most people then had chamber pots in their bedrooms.
The problem with this was that it then had to be stored somewhere. Some people put the chamber pot under the bed but others often bought small cupboards to contain the chamber pots and placed these cupboards by their beds - hence the birth of the bedside cabinet or nightstand.

Mexico was originally governed by its indigenous civilisations such as the Olmec, the Maya and the Aztecs. But in 1521 the country was colonised by Spain. Mexico remained a Spanish colony for 300 years until it regained its independence in 1821. It is not surprising that, after 300 years of Spanish control, Mexico had adopted many of the fashions or styles of its European rulers. These included obvious features, such as the language, but also less obvious things such as a similarity in the style of furniture. A casual study of Spanish Colonial furniture shows the styling shares many similarities to that of Mexican furniture. The native Mexican people adapted the style to their own tastes with, for example, the use of bold metal fittings demonstrating the skills of the country’s craftsmen in metalworking.
