About the Item

Crafted in France in the late 19th century, this charming six-step folding ladder offers both utility and timeworn character. Built from solid pine with visible pegged joinery and iron hardware, the ladder showcases traditional craftsmanship and a warm natural finish that has aged gracefully. The tall top step reaches 46.5 inches, while the overall structure folds flat for compact storage, secured by a hinged locking bar. The A-frame silhouette includes gently tapered legs and a subtly curved top platform, making it both functional and sculptural. Whether used decoratively to display textiles or books, or repurposed in a boutique or kitchen for vertical access, this rustic piece lends vintage authenticity and warmth. Dimensions: Opened: 20″ W x 35″ D x 46.5″ H Closed: 20″ W x 7″ D x 54.25″ H Excellent antique condition with wear consistent with age and use.
