AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Staircase for an English 20th-century library. Four steps with a leather insert and gold embossing. Library staircase, England, early 1900s. The four steps wind upward around a central turned column and are supported by small turned uprights, creating a compact and decorative shape; each triangular step features a brown leather covering decorated in gold. Stairs of this type were commonly used in libraries and studies to reach the upper shelves while occupying minimal floor space. A classic piece of furniture, to be placed beside bookcases, in a study or within a library. In excellent condition. No restoration.
