Convertible oak folding library chair 37x14x12 that transforms into a 3’ step ladder, featuring a slat-back chair with sculpted sides, solid wood seat, and integrated steps concealed beneath the seat. The ingenious hinged design unfolds into a sturdy ladder configuration, with visible iron support rods and pivot hardware that allow the chair to convert between seating and step ladder functions. Constructed of oak with an attractive medium brown finish highlighting the wood grain, this classic space-saving design is associated with late 19th- to early 20th-century utility furniture. The chair displays wear consistent with age and use, including finish wear, surface scratches, and minor scuffs visible throughout. An appealing example of functional antique furniture with excellent decorative, practical, and collectible appeal.
