Folding Steps Ladder

This early English folding step stool from the private collection of the late antiquarian Rachel Lloyd, of Lockboat Cottage, Kent, England is a prime example of early industrial design. It features a solid wood frame with iron banding and hammered iron nails securing the step joints. The circular seat adds a functional elegance to this utilitarian piece, making it as decorative as it is practical.

"A stunning blend of functionality and historical design, this folding step stool not only serves as a practical piece but also as a captivating decorative element that echoes the craftsmanship of a bygone era."

England, circa 1900
