A Very Good Quality Late Regency Period, 19th Century, Rosewood Étagère, Or Buffet Of Unusually Small Proportions, Having Three Superbly Figured Rectangular Tiers United By Turned Upright Supports, Terminating On Elegant Tapering Legs with Original Brass Castors.
A wide variety of 19th century low Étagères, or whatnots can be found on the market these days, mainly due to their incredible versatility in terms of their function. But of course with variety and volume in design comes discrepancies in quality and construction. As a general rule the earlier in date the better and this item is Regency rather than the more commonly found later victorian examples.
It is a great example of its type and although of relatively typical form it is longer than most yet still manages to boast great elegance. It’s also very functional and it is constructed using the good quality, well figured rosewood veneers.
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.
