FAQs

A whatnot is a piece of tiered open furniture introduced in the late eighteenth century that became widely popular during the Victorian era. It was designed to display decorative ornaments, porcelain, books, and curiosities in drawing rooms and parlours.

Victorian whatnots were commonly constructed using figured hardwoods such as burr walnut, rosewood, and mahogany. They often incorporated turned timber pillars, veneer panels, brass galleries, and brass castors at the feet.

Authentic nineteenth-century examples feature hand-turned columns, genuine book-matched burr walnut veneer over a solid timber core, dovetailed drawer construction, and original brass castors and galleries showing light natural tarnish.

A whatnot serves as an adaptable accent piece in contemporary spaces, ideal for displaying collections of ceramics, small house plants, or books in a living room alcove, hallway corner, or bathroom.

Preserve burr walnut by dusting regularly with a soft cloth and applying a clear beeswax polish once or twice a year. Keep the piece away from direct sunlight, central heating radiators, and excessive moisture to prevent veneer lifting or fading.
