Description from the seller
Crafted in France circa 1960, this clever piece combines form and function in the true Louis XIII style. Crafted from wood with a warm, hand-rubbed patina, the Metamorphic stool features a rectangular-shaped top resting on turned supports. With a simple movement, the top flips out to reveal three wide treads, transforming the piece into a practical library step stool. The turned baluster supports and spindles provide strength and stability whilst adding visual interest. The rich wood grain displays subtle colour variations that enhance its antique charm. The stool stands on four elegant tapered legs, completing the traditional silhouette. Sturdy and in very good condition, appropriate for its age and use, this versatile piece is ideal for a library, study or living room, also serving as a functional step stool for reaching high shelves. Dimensions closed: 71cm H x 52cm W x 36cm D Depth open: 66cm; height of top step: 71 cm
