Description
Lovely set of mahogany steps dating from the early 19th century. They stand on square tapering legs with a green canvas tread on each step and brass plate handles on the fronts. The top step hinges open to provide storage and there is a pretty inlaid strung border on the fronts of each step.
They would have originally been used to get into a particularly high bed but would also work very well as library steps.
They are excellent quality and they have a wonderful patina showing nice wear on each tread and a lovely rich colour. The handles are not original but suit the piece well.
The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.
