| Commentaires : | This piece originally belonged to the Law family of Rexton, New Brunswick and is original to the site. A commode is an item of furniture that is often described as a chest of drawers. The two types of furniture are distinct in that a commode was most frequently used in the drawing room of a home. Andrew Bonar Law, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in 1923, was born there in 1858. He was the only British Prime Minister to be born outside of the United Kingdom. His father was a pastor, originally from Scotland. The home of the Law family remains in existence as a New Brunswick Historic Site. |
| Fonctions : | Chest of drawers were usually used in the bedroom while the more decorative commode provided storage space in a drawing room. Used at the Law family home in Rexton, New Brunswick. |
