Étagère

An étagère (French: [etaʒɛʁ]) is a French set of hanging or standing open shelves for the display of collections of objects or ornaments.

[1][2] The étagère became a popular form of furniture in the nineteenth century.

[3] Similar to the what-not, the shelves of the étagère provided extra space for the display of the accumulation of knickknacks that was typical of Victorian home decor.
