Quarter round library steps composed of four triangular treads radiating around a central turned baluster shaft, crowned by a ball finial. The frame, entirely turned and carved, rests on shaped legs joined by curved stretchers. The tread surfaces are covered in green leather with a fine gilt border, typical of nineteenth century study and library furnishings. The piece served as a practical aid for reaching volumes stored on the highest shelves.
