About the Item

Fantastic late 19th century library ladder from Mercier Freres. Beautifully patinated, this ladder's scale and time-worn finish offers both beauty and history. Likely used in Mercier Freres atelier, the name is hand painted on one of the ladder sides. Mercier Freres was a furniture and tapestry making firm in the 19th Century in France. It was founded in 1828 by Claude Mercier and participated in most of the major exhibitions of the late 19th Century. By the later 19th Century the firm counted Spanish and Iranian royalty among its clientele. The firm made furniture mostly in the 18th Century Louis XV and Louis XVI styles, but by the early 20th Century Mercier Freres had started to experiment with the popular Art Deco style. Wear is consistent with age and use. See photos for details and reach out with additional questions and inquiries.
