An etagere is an open tiered stand designed specifically for displaying small ornaments, porcelain, or books across multiple levels. It provides vertical storage and display without darkening a room. These pieces typically feature two, three, or more shelves supported by slender columns or turned legs, making them versatile additions to drawing rooms and reception spaces.

How do I use a tier stand?

A tier stand can function as an occasional side table, a lamp table, or a dedicated display surface for plants and decorative items. The multiple levels allow you to group collections together in a structured arrangement. In living areas, they hold reading material and lighting, while plant stands accommodate trailing foliage on protected marble or wood surfaces.

A whatnot is a nineteenth-century English and French term for an open set of shelves used to hold whatever objects were currently fashionable. They range from diminutive corner models to larger freestanding display units. These pieces share the tiered format of etageres and frequently incorporate drawers, mirrors, or marquetry panels into their design.
