Mid-Century English Mahogany 4-Step Library Folding Ladder with Brass Hinges
About the Item
Elevate your interior with this refined mid-century library ladder. Crafted in England circa 1950 from solid mahogany, the piece features four wide steps and a clever folding A-frame design that is both functional and decorative. The richly grained mahogany displays a warm, polished patina, complemented by smooth curves and domed side panels that lend a clean, architectural silhouette.
Engineered for both utility and ease of storage, the ladder folds flat and is secured by original brass hinges and support stays. The tallest step rises to 31.5 inches from the floor, offering excellent height for reaching tall bookcases, upper cabinetry, or display shelves in a study, library, or living space.
In excellent condition commensurate with age and use, this antique-style step ladder showcases classic English craftsmanship paired with mid-century sophistication—an elegant and space-efficient accent for traditional or transitional interiors alike.
