Victorian Teak Folding Pole Library Ladder

19th century
Description

Victorian Teak Folding Pole Library Ladder. This example is executed in Teak which is both very hard and strong. The clever mechanism has all six brass capped rungs hinged into the sides of the pole so that it can be folded into the body of the pole thus creating a metamorphic space saving ladder. The pole has a hook and eye at one end and a brass bolt at the other so it cannot open by mistake when being carried. These ladders are sometimes referred to as elephant pole ladders.

Circa 1850

Size: Folded – 95 inches tall 241 cms, 2 ¾ inches diameter 7 cms.

Open – 83 .75 inches tall 212.5 cms, 13.25 inches wide 33.5 cms, 2 ¾ inches deep.

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.
