Vintage midcentury A-frame library step ladder custom crafted in Italy for the luxury New York department store B. Altman & Co. in the 1960s. This functional, architectural accent features a four-tread design beautifully elevated by refined, light spiral-turned carving details along its support frame. This piece features a masterfully executed antiqued finish over solid hardwood that over time has developed a warm, organic patina and character rich surface texture achieving a desirable, lived-in feel.
Equally magnificent as a functional ladder in a curated study or styled as an architectural etagere to display special books, plants and sculptural objects, this piece will infuse any interior with rich warmth and a sophisticated historical presence.
