Built of walnut with a warm rich patina, the piece features three graduated steps, each inset with a green leather panel bordered with gilt trim accents along the edges for a touch of elegance. The top is dressed with a smooth black marble stone slab, offering a practical surface. Each step lifts to reveal a hidden compartment, perfect for storing books or personal items. The front knob serves as a pull to open the middle step. Above, a paneled door opens to a shelved interior, adding even more storage. In excellent condition commensurate with age and use, this rare French piece is both decorative and practical. Ideal for a library, study, or bedroom, it functions as a step stool, small cabinet, or unique accent, bringing character and charm to any interior.
