The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A whatnot is an open-tiered piece of furniture introduced in the late eighteenth century, designed to display ornaments, books, or objects. Burmese examples from the nineteenth century feature dense teak construction and hand carving, often incorporating floral motifs, figures, and pierced cresting.

These pieces were crafted from solid teak wood, known for its density and natural oil content. Construction typically involved hand-carved openwork panels, turned or spiralled columns, and mortise-and-tenon joinery.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-chiselled relief carvings featuring regional iconography or foliage, showing variations in depth across the surface. The timber displays a dark brown patina and notable weight due to the density of aged teak wood.

Position the tiered unit in a corner or entryway to introduce architectural texture and historic surface detail. Style the open shelves with simple ceramics, books, or potted plants to balance the dark wood carving.

Dust regularly using a soft-bristled brush to clean inside carved recesses. Apply a natural beeswax polish periodically to protect the wood grain, avoiding liquid cleaners or harsh chemicals.
