Antique library steps dating to around 1810-1840. A proper bit of practical Regency furniture - made to be moved around the house for reaching high shelves, cupboards and bookcases.
Painted in an old red finish with worn edges and original knocks you’d expect from something that’s actually been used. Solid, stable, and still doing the job 180+ years later.
