https://www.decorativecollective.com/dealers/antiques-workshopA characterful early 20th‑century step ladder from the Arras region. c.1900.
Hand crafted from bent and riveted iron with the distinctive curled‑rod treads associated with northern French workshop furniture of the period. The four steps are formed from tightly wound iron bars, giving a strong sculptural presence as well as practical grip. The frame shows honest age and surface oxidation, with the metal retaining a warm, naturally weathered patina. The proportions are compact and purposeful, with cross‑bracing that keeps the piece stable and visually balanced. It also folds flat for easy storage.
Originally a functional workshop ladder, it also makes a superb decorative stand - ideal for plants, pots or display. A charming and authentic example of regional French utilitarian design, full of early industrial character.
