Royal House Antiques is delighted to offer for sale this lovely antique Gothic circa 1850 metamorphic library steps chair in hand carved oak with original carpet upholstered steps. A very charming and highly collectable piece, designed as an at home library steps and reading chair, these are used to add a sense of grand occasion to a standard bookcase, this is the first one I have seen in real life that has this level of gothic revival carving, it is an amazing find.
