Each step is dressed with an embossed leather top embellished with gilt accents. The antique ladder table is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, and adorns a rich walnut patina. A piece of ingenious English design, this versatile and practical antique ladder is functional as a chair, bench, or as a library ladder. Measures: 27.5″ W x 17.25″ D x 17.75″ H.
