English Victorian Walnut Three-Step Bed Steps, 19th Century

Located in Atlanta, GA

Crafted in England during the 19th century, this handsome walnut three-step staircase was designed to provide elegant access to the high bedsteads common in Victorian homes. Combining practical function with attractive craftsmanship, it features richly figured walnut tops, turned supports, shaped scalloped aprons, and charming ball feet that lend the piece warmth and architectural presence.
