About the Item
This elegant six-step folding library ladder was crafted in England circa 1970 and showcases the functional artistry of mid-century design. Made from rich, well-figured mahogany, the piece features a gracefully arched profile with shaped sides and scroll-form feet, lending sculptural presence even when folded. The six steps are set at an ergonomic incline, with the top step reaching a practical height of 38 inches.
Brass folding mechanisms on either side ensure smooth, stable operation, locking the ladder securely in its open position and folding flat to just 9 inches deep for easy storage. A rear cross-stretcher and steel side supports provide added strength and rigidity. The wood retains a warm, polished finish with subtle wear consistent with age and use, enhancing its vintage character.
A rare and versatile piece ideal for use in a home library, bookshop, or boutique, offering both utility and sculptural charm.
Dimensions: 19.5″ W x 32″ D x 43″ H (open); 9″ D (folded); Top step: 38″ H
