About the Item
A Very Good Quality Mid 19th Century Rosewood Whatnot, Or Etagere, Having Three Very Well Figured Rectangular Tiers, United By Elegant Turned Upright Supports And Tapering Turned Legs With Original Brass Castors.
A wide variety of these 19th century low Étagères, or whatnots can be found on the market these days, mainly due to their incredible versatility in terms of their function. But of course with variety and volume in design comes discrepancies in quality and construction. As a general rule the earlier in date the better and this whatnot is no exception boasting real class and sophistication.
It is a very good example of its type and although of typical form it boasts great elegance. It’s also a good, practical functional size and it is constructed using the good quality, well figured rosewood veneers.
The word Étagère is derived from the French word for a set of open freestanding shelves and although in England the term Whatnot is much more common the two phrases are pretty much always interchangeable these days, although more often than not you will find that the term Whatnot is used to describe larger variations of this design, whereas Étagère will be used to describe this smaller variants.
As with all the items we offer for sale it has been inspected and attended to in our workshops by our well trained and highly skilled, specialist antique furniture restorers and it has received a natural wax polish to ensure it is presented for sale in the absolute best possible condition meaning that it ready for immediate placement within the home.
