For Sale: Ornate, Medieval-Inspired Toilet with Built-in Music Box

13 years ago, Alex, the founder of Neatorama, blogged about an unusual luxury toilet sold by the French furnishings company Herbeau. A mounted ceramic plaque tells the tale of King Dagobert I (r. 629-639), one of the Kings of the Franks of the Merovingian Dynasty.

Listen beautiful relax classics on our Youtube channel.

Dagobert is the central character in the French children’s song Le Bon Roi Dagobert. In it, Saint Eligius (Eloy), one of his ministers of government, warns him against foolish actions, such as wearing his pants inside out. The toilet has a music box that plays this song whenever the lid is opened.

Once you have tended to affairs of state, you may flush. This rings a bell “thus letting everyone know that all is well in the kingdom.”

Ebay member Elaine Chernov became the proud owner of one “because the people at the popular card game Cards Against Humanity sent it to me as a joke.” She has kept it crated.

So, good news everyone! Even though at least 13 years have passed since this gem of a commode entered the market, you can still get one! Although it originally sold for $14,000, you can have it from Chernov for a mere $6,300!
