About the Item

A Superb Quality 19th Century Regency Period Rosewood Whatnot, Or Etagere, Having Three Superbly Figured Tiers, United By Extremely Elegant Reverse Tapered Turned Upright Supports, Terminating On Richly Carved Turned Feet And Original Brass Castors. There are a huge variety of these low Étagères, or whatnots to be found on the market these days, mainly due to their incredible versatility in terms of their function. This particular example is actually one of the very best, of the best. It is of typical square, low form, a good, practical functional size and it is constructed using the very best quality rosewood veneers, partnered with exceptional and elegant quality of construction. Most importantly it is also Regency in terms of it’s original construction date, which is much, much rarer than those which you will find from the later 19th century and early 20th century. 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. Circa 1825. Height 36.5in. Width 16in. Depth 13.5in.
