AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Fascinating Italian library ladder from the 1930s, made of walnut and characterized by a lightweight yet solid structure, fully foldable upon itself.
It is composed of five steps plus a sixth upper one. The opening and closing mechanisms operate perfectly, ensuring ease of use and portability. The structure is sound and stable, fully usable; only a small crack is noted, highlighted in figure 22, which does not affect the overall solidity in any way.
At the beginning of the 20th century, these ladders were often custom-made for large domestic libraries, symbols of culture and prestige in bourgeois homes.
In addition to its original library function, it can be used in a living room or kitchen as an elegant support for displaying objects or plants.
Seller's Story
I have always been passionate about our past, knowing it is the only thing that does not cease the connection between what is and what was.
When I reached the right age I understood that my passion had to coincide with my work and so I opened a business.
The key principles are quality and love towards the customer.
