This is pretty much the best-looking chair I have ever seen and certainly the most decorative library steps. The design is based on a Regency Gillow’s of Lancaster model of a metamorphic library steps, the idea being with tall Georgian bookcases you have a reading chair next to the bookcase and when you need to get a book down from on high, you simply flip the chair top over and you have steps

This one has been specially made as a homage to William Shakespeare, the top of the back rest has been hand carved with a city scene depicting Shakespeare theatre, under we find a painted scene of Romeo courting Juliette, on the back you have William Shakespeare’s name hand carved in with the edition number 52/150, converting it to steps we find a pewter plaque which reads “Crafted Using Historic Oak & Pewter from William Shakespeare’s Warwickshire” the steps each have a play quote on them, from top to bottom they read

“The play’s the thing” – Hamlet

“O, what men dare do! – Much Ado About Nothing

“Now go we in content” – As You Like It

“As you like it” – The Seven Ages Of Men

As mentioned, an absolute gem of a chair and every scholars dream conversation piece. The condition is absolutely fantastic, its been used for decoration only
