Stepladder workshop step

This beautiful stepladder with a resolutely industrial style recalls by its tubular metal base and its two patinated wooden steps the stools of workshop or school of yesteryear. It's very original, it's the first time i've met one! Four holes in the structure whose usefulness I do not understand could make you think that it is a part of a larger stepladder... If you have any information about it, I am very interested in learning more about it. In any case, it is really aesthetic and very practical to reach high closets, as a bookcase stepladder or as a plant holder, bedside or end of sofa! It is in good general condition, still very solid and stable, equipped with its original black plastic skates. But he does not hide his age and his previous lives: the base was probably covered with a white lacquer at some point in his life: there was a little left, but this painting was peeling, so I chose to remove it for the most part, but there are still some visible traces on the structure and much more in the underside, invisible once placed on the ground. The base also has other marks and various spots, as well as a little superficial rust (which does not question its strength at all). I used iron wool to remove the roughness on this corrosion and passed a little antique wax to the cloth to unify the colors and protect the metal. The wooden steps also have the patina of time: some spots, marks and colorations. This foot step measures 59 cm in height, the base of the base forms a square of 38 cm side, the steps are 27 cm and 47 cm high. It weighs about 3.5 kg.
