Antique English, circa 1880
This lovely antique ebonised whatnot self unit displays wonderful aged character and charm. With its narrow proportions, the piece features four shelves supported by turned uprights and bobbin feet, creating a delicate, elegant silhouette. The gallery top adds a refined, architectural detail with delicate turned balustrade and top hat corner posts. The thin slender shelves made from a single plank provides further elegance and proportions to the piece.
