Tom Scott Antiques has dated this piece to the 19th Century.

The colour tone of both the lighter shade of mahogany and the leather complimenting it so well, the steps have a wonderful patina built up over decades of beeswax polish.
When the steps are closed, they offer an occasional chair at a low stool height, ideal for children!

Lovely quality and unusual item.
