A remarkable set of early 17th Century French Walnut Library steps.
These fabulous carved walnut steps would have served as a practical piece for those fortunate enough to have a library in the home, or indeed a public library, when these became more popular and accessible.
The patina of the walnut is simply stunning. Each step has its own character and unique appearance from the use of years gone by; a trait that cannot be replicated by modern furniture.
At the top of the stair set is an ornate back board section, with a carved relief central flower, flanked by decorative 'S' like patterns. At the foot of each step, lies an intricate floral pattern across the width. At the base, the feet feature the same intricate decoration.
A wonderful addition to a library room or study space in the home.
