20th Century French Wooden Bookcase

About the Item

This 20th Century French wooden bookcase offers a sculptural, utilitarian charm with its unique A-frame ladder form and distressed green patina. Originally used as a functional ladder, it has been thoughtfully converted into a tiered shelving unit, retaining its rustic character and authentic wear. Five wide, graduated shelves provide ample space for books, plants, or decorative objects, while the open design lends an airy feel that suits both rustic and contemporary settings. Braced for stability and visually striking from all angles, this piece serves equally well as a display fixture or a freestanding statement in retail, loft, or creative home interiors.
