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

Originating in the late 18th century and becoming widely popular during the 19th century, a whatnot (or etagere) is a piece of furniture featuring open shelves supported by upright columns. It was designed primarily to display ornaments, books, and curiosities within formal reception rooms.

Traditional French whatnots were crafted from hardwoods such as beech, walnut, or oak, incorporating turned or barley-twist support columns. Surfaces were frequently painted, lacquered, or finished with gilded accents along carved mouldings using traditional leafing techniques.

Authentic period pieces display hand-carved support details, hand-applied painted finishes showing natural wear and age patina, and traditional joinery such as pegged or screwed shelf fittings underneath. Inspection of the underside typically reveals hand-planed timber and historic construction marks.

In contemporary settings, a painted whatnot serves as an accent for displaying curated ceramics, books, or decorative objects. Its open structure allows it to function effectively in tight alcoves, beside seating, or in entryways without visually crowding the room.

Clean painted and gilded surfaces gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or a soft-bristled brush to clear dust from detailed carvings. Avoid water, chemical solvents, or abrasive polishes, which can degrade fragile paint layers and leaf gilding.
