About the Item

Crafted in France circa 1870, this five-step folding ladder is made from poplar and pine with a warm, timeworn patina that reflects its utilitarian past. The broad top platform reaches 35.5 inches high, supported by gently tapered legs and secured by original iron chain supports. A rear diagonal brace adds strength and visual interest, while the entire structure folds flat for convenient storage. Executed with pegged joinery and traditional carpentry techniques, the ladder balances rustic charm with enduring functionality. Ideal for displaying linens, books, or seasonal decor, it brings authentic antique character to any interior.
