At Canonbury Antiques we carry a range of whatnots. What? A whatnot is a stand or bookshelf with shelves used for housing and storing small objects, books and decorative items. Kind of like a bookcase.
 

Whatnots - Antique Bookcases
( Whatnots - Antique Bookcases )

The eytomology of the word whatnot is interesting. From the dictionary: used to refer to an item or items that are not identified but are felt to have something in common with items already named. Hence, in Victorian times, when the whatnot as a piece of furniture first came into existence it got it's name from the pieces it used to store - all the whatnots. The flotsam and jetsam of living rooms - books, vases, trinkets, busts, sculptures etc.
