The what not, or etagere, originated in France during the late 18th century and became immensely popular in Britain during the Victorian era as a display piece for ornaments and curiosities.

These pieces were typically constructed from dense hardwoods like mahogany or walnut, featuring multiple tiered platforms supported by turned columns, often accented with fretwork galleries and brass castors.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-correct joinery, hand-turned wooden components, rich patina on the timber, and traditional fixings such as hand-cut screws or handmade brass castors.

An antique what not can be styled in a contemporary living space to display curated collections of ceramics, books, or small sculptures, adding vertical interest and historical contrast to minimalist decor.

Preserve antique mahogany by maintaining stable indoor humidity levels away from direct sunlight and radiators, applying occasional natural beeswax, and dusting gently with a dry microfibre cloth.
