How Do You Spell Throne
According to, this meaning of throne is recorded from 1922.As to why the word throne acquired this meaning, there is a theory. Back in the European Middle Ages it was only the powerful rulers of an area who had what we today would consider toilets. There was an isolated room in the castle where only the master of the premises had access. Since this treatment was fit only for a king (or someone who wielded power that resembled that of a king), the seat where the person was allowed to sit was compared to a throne, where only one person was allowed to sit as well.

Most of the titles were talking about God or King and were written in context of events from history. And we already know that older books were more conservative about the choice & usage of the words.We now, can make fun of the word throne because we are not ruled by kings any more.
I doubt whether one would have used the word earlier than 1800/1900s with regard to toilet.May be as Irene said, Etymonline.com is telling us the correct date with the lavatory sense of usage:).
