A late 19th century Victorian oak library step/chair.
The chair has a brass locking rod that keeps the frame locked in the chair position.
When the rod is released the back of the chair tips forward until it is vertical and becomes a set of library steps.
The brass locking rod is then put back in place to keep the steps locked in position.
The chair is in good condition and is strong enough for it's purpose, to be used as a chair or steps. (Circa 1880)
