About the Item
Striking 19th Century Ebonised Whatnot Shelf Unit with Gallery Top
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.
The deep, rich ebony finish has a lovely, worn patina that speaks to the age and history. Small nicks, scratches and other signs of gentle wear only enhance the piece’s character and timeless appeal. This charming whatnot would make a beautiful accent piece in a variety of interiors, from traditional to modern, bringing a touch of vintage style.

In a bathroom, this whatnot could provide handy storage and display for towels, bath products, plants and art. Its refined, ebonised finish would beautifully accent period-style tile, fixtures and furnishings.
