Antique Mahogany and Leather Library Steps

1920 - 1940
Description

A large and impressive set of antique mahogany and leather library steps in the Georgian style. They were made in England, and date from around the 1930’s period.

The quality is fantastic, they are very useful for reaching high shelves, and also make great side tables / decorative items. The mahogany frame is finely constructed, and the steps have inset black leather surfaces.

We have had these recently re-polished, the condition is excellent for their age. The mahogany has a wonderful patina with some minor marks and bumps remaining under the polish here and there, commensurate for age.

The pole that stands above the steps can be unscrewed and lifted out, so this breaks down into a smaller size for ease of transport.

Width – 20 inches , 51 cm

Depth – 20 inches , 51 cm

Height – 72 inches , 182 cm

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Spiral library steps were developed in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to allow access to higher shelves in tall private libraries and study rooms without occupying significant floor space.

Traditional library steps were constructed from solid hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, or walnut, frequently featuring leather-lined treads and hand-turned support columns.

Authentic antique library steps display hand-carved turned wood components, natural wear patterns on tread surfaces, traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery, and historic patination across the timber.

These steps can be placed beside tall built-in shelving, positioned in a reading corner, or used as a functional display structure for books and decorative objects.

Maintain the timber by dusting regularly with a soft microfibre cloth and applying wax polish periodically, while treating the leather inserts with a specialised leather conditioner.
