Bronze (or phosphor bronze as variants are known) is a somewhat underrated cousin of the so very fashionable metal; brass. It offers similar working properties to that of its copper alloy family members, but significantly, it can provide some of the most beautiful pinky colours and tones when compared to brass itself.
An international interior design company engaged Andrew Nebbett Designs to create a new piece for their studio. A stunning rolling library ladder and fixed rail system in gun barrel steel with real silver-plated features, was commissioned to compliment the beautiful hand-made American black walnut bookcase unit.

A rolling library ladder is one of the most striking additions you can make to a home library, study, wine cellar or retail space. Moving smoothly along a fixed rail on small wheels or castors, a rolling bookcase ladder combines genuine practicality with a sense of theatre that a fixed ladder simply cannot match.
At Andrew Nebbett Designs, every rolling library ladder is handmade to order in our Devon workshop. We work in a wide range of materials including brass, steel, aluminium and timber, with finishes from polished and patinated metals through to painted or oiled wood. Whether you are looking for something classical and antique in feel, or clean and contemporary, we design each piece around your space, your rail height and your brief.
Our rolling ladders can be paired with straight rails, corner sections and even retractable mechanisms for spaces where the ladder needs to be stored flat when not in use. We also produce custom rolling ladder components and hardware for clients working with their own cabinetmakers.
