About the Item
Crafted in France circa 1880, this charming five-step folding ladder combines practicality with rustic appeal. Made of solid pine, the piece features a warm, timeworn patina with visible grain patterns, knots, and tool marks that speak to its age and use. The top step sits at 39 inches high, providing a stable platform for reaching higher shelves or display areas, while the folding design allows for easy storage when not in use. A small white enamel plaque numbered “221” is affixed to one side, adding character and suggesting its original use in an organized workshop or institution. Stamped with “Breveté S.G.D.G.” (indicating a patented French design), the ladder retains its original joinery, including pegged and nailed construction. Whether used decoratively in a kitchen or library, or as a functional display stand for plants or books, this antique ladder brings authentic French countryside charm to any interior. Dimensions: 32″ W x 15″ D x 39″ H opened; 9.5″ W x 15″ D x 47.5″ H closed. Excellent condition, commensurate with age and use.
