About the Item
Tall large antique library step ladder, made of quality solid oak and bearing clear signs of the fine craftsmanship and classic design.
A robust and elegant construction with solid steps and a wide platform at the top, making it both functional and decorative.
The frame is made of strong oak bars, which provide stability, while the slightly sloping stairs and simple railing make it safe to use.
The surface shows a warm, golden patina, which is only achieved through the natural wear and tear of time, and the grain of the wood appears beautifully visible.
Such library ladders were traditionally used in large French libraries and book collections in the 19th century, where they functioned both as practical aids and as elegant pieces of furniture.
This ladder could therefore serve both as a functional element in a library, office or shop – or as a charming decorative feature in a modern home with a classic or rustic interior.
The item is in remote storage, please call the store at (45) 3332 3246 for viewing.
