Victorian Whatnot Shelves

Derived from the elegant étagère which became exceedingly popular in England, the Victorian era inspired differing arrangements, shapes, and carvings to the original French concept of an étagère evolving it into the comely whatnot shelves beloved of collectors today.

Victorian whatnot shelves are the cultivated, elegant means in which your favorite collections can be displayed on open, airy shelves. Solid Honduran mahogany is the wood of choice for this antique whatnot shelf reproduction. Mahogany has been a classic material for beautiful furniture materials for hundreds of years becoming a highly prized and highly desired wood as it ages. Durable hardwood that is sturdier than pine, yet more flexible than oak, mahogany's pleasing, straight and fine grade of grain as well as its enchanting reddish hue that darkens over time make it the penultimate in making the most striking furniture.

This Victorian whatnot shelf is most certainly a striking piece, flowing excellently into an entryway, hallway, living room, office or den for you to have the final, perfect place for your precious collections of curio or family heirloom items. Below beveled shelves rest a spacious single drawer decorated by a single, polished brass knob to provide even more storage space.

Hand-carved as the old masters of carpentry would have carved, the top shelf is ornamented with an intricately created three quarter pierced gallery supported by gracefully entwined spiral turned spindles.

We hand-finished this piece with our signature classic mahogany stain and satin semi-gloss finish, purposefully designed to coax the most stunning details of the rare and gorgeous mahogany wood.

For over three decades we have made it our priority, our passion, and our mission to produce heirloom furniture authentically reproduced from top to bottom as the old master carpenters have. We lovingly and meticulously cut, join, carve, sand, stain, and finish by hand as well guaranteeing that your Laurel Crown antique whatnot shelf is the only one like it in the entire world.
