An étagère is a piece of light furniture very similar to the English what-not, which was extensively made in France during the latter part of the 18th century.
As the name implies, it consists of a series of stages or shelves for the reception of ornaments or other small articles.
Like the what-not it was very often cornerwise in shape, and the best Louis XVI examples in exotic woods are exceedingly graceful and elegant.
