Victorian Metamorphic Library Chair


A Victorian Oak metamorphic Char/Steps Circa 1880.
The hinged seat allowing the frame to revolve and become a set of library steps…..how ingenious!!!!!!!
The chair has a brass rod that keeps the frame locked in position and is strong and sturdy.
Metamorphic steps were first built in the Mid-18th Century for private libraries or offices, the top most shelves were difficult to reach so movable library steps or stairs were created as a form of domestic antique furniture. What Fun…!!!!
Delivery is subsidised and charged from £45.00 to mainland England and Wales.(Terms and conditions apply - please contact us for details)
