S and S Timms Antiques Ltd has dated this Regency Rosewood Whatnot Stand to the 19th Century.
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.
