Description from the seller
Charming collapsible French library step stool with decorative enamel bowl
A very special and atmospheric wooden library step stool from France, which is both functional and decorative. This foldable step stool has a warm appearance thanks to the beautiful patina of the wood and has been creatively adapted: in the top surface, a round cutout was made in which an enamel bowl is placed. Ideal to use as a planter holder or for an elegant floral arrangement.
Description
This sturdy and solidly crafted step stool consists of two treads and an upper plateau. The elegant, gently curved side rails give the whole a refined look. Thanks to the clever construction, the step stool is foldable, making it easy to store when not in use. The addition of the enamel bowl makes the piece unique and versatile – a real eye-catcher in the interior.
