Product Description

A Rare Victorian 6 tier Barley Twist Whatnot.

A Lovely Walnut Whatnot.

We bring to you the most outstanding example of a mid Victorian Walnut 6 tier Whatnot which is believed to be made around C1860. This absolutely stunning Whatnot is in fantastic original condition which we have just enhanced by sympathetically cleaning and carefully waxing to its lovely sheen.

The Whatnot has a finely fret-worked top pediment which stands proudly above its 3 tier descending mirror back which is complete with its original glass with very little foxing for its age. The Whatnot has 6 serpentine shaped display shelves in total with a fretwork apron to follow along the underside of each shelf which is supported by the most exquisitely crafted hollow barley twist turned supports. The Whatnot has lovely turned finials to the top portion and stands proudly on its lovely turned legs.
The display stand is made of the highest quality featuring its original glazed French polished finish and t here is no excessive movement or play in any of the joints, the tops are flat without bowing or twisting.
There is one brass plate bracket to the rear (later addition) which we recommend is fixed to a wall with one screw just to ensure the item cannot fall if it is accidentally knocked.

Please note this item is in beautiful condition for its age as shown in the photographs below however being an antique there may be minor repairs and imperfections here and there. However, we feel that these points are which adds charm and character to a piece.

  • Victorian Table

    I bought a restored Victorian table from here. When it arrived, it was wrapped incredibly well in bubble wrap, and had obviously been recently polished. It was immaculate. Friendly service, and a good price. Would definitely use again.
