Crafted in France circa 1970 from solid oak, the two-step ladder is designed in the Louis XIII taste, featuring finely turned baluster supports, slender cylindrical uprights, and carved finials crowning the upper posts. Tall angled handrails provide added support, while the two broad oak treads offer comfortable footing for reaching high bookshelves, cabinets, and upper storage.

The architectural frame is reinforced by a sturdy square stretcher base and traditional mortise-and-tenon construction. Turned side supports, tapered feet, and restrained decorative details lend the ladder an elegant silhouette while preserving the robust character associated with Louis XIII-inspired furniture. Unlike a folding ladder, this piece has a fixed, freestanding construction designed for stability and regular use.

Versatile and highly decorative, this Mid-Century step ladder would work beautifully in a library, kitchen, dressing room, wine cellar, or retail display. The antique-style oak ladder is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, and adorns a rich, warm patina with attractive grain and gentle wear throughout.
