At Canonbury Antiques we carry a range of whatnots a piece of furniture like a bookcase with shelving for smaller decorative pieces. The whatnot derived from the French etagere which became popular in the UK in the 19th Century. The eytomology of the word whatnot probaly originates from what you can store on the shelves china, ornament, decorative pieces and other 'whatnots'.
Come and view our range of whatnots in the Canonbury Antiques Hertfordshire showroom just 25 minutes north of London. We carry a range of other bookcases including breakfronts, art deco, Victorian and Regency.
