This is an attractive Victorian whatnot in the well figured burr walnut that is particularly sought after by collectors. The top with moulded edge and galleried upstand lies over two further shelves and a drawer base, joined by solid carved barleytwist columns.

The drawer base with it's original turned handles sits over turned bun feet on the original brass castors with beaded ring detail and china wheels.

This attractive small whatnot is in wonderful original condition with no warping, cracks or breaks anywhere. There is one small area where there has been an old repair to the veneers at the back of the bottom shelf, which is only visible under close scrutiny and is commensurate with age.

Although this whatnot is around 150 years old it has obviously been well looked after in its lifetime as it is in very good overall condition, retaining the original  shellac polish finish, with a wonderful rich glowing colour and patina.
