Constructed from solid oak, it reflects the quality and durability characteristic of British mid-century craftsmanship.

The design is inspired by traditional 19th-century library furniture but features the clean, understated lines typical of mid-century design.
It includes three compact steps arranged in a quarter-turn, supported by a sturdy frame and finished with a small turned finial for a subtle decorative touch.

The oak shows a warm natural patina that enhances the texture and depth of the wood grain.
Both functional and sculptural, this piece can serve as a library step, display stand, or decorative accent in a variety of interior settings — from classic to contemporary.
