Crafted from solid mahogany in a warm, brown hue, this etagere showcases 19th-century craftsmanship. The construction consists of three levels with raised edges, supported by decorative turned columns ending in spherical knobs at the top and sturdy legs at the bottom.

The piece originates from England, as stated in the accompanying appraisal report from Van der Steen Antiquairs dated 2006.
The etagere is in good condition, commensurate with its age and use. Over the years, the wood has developed a beautiful patina, which emphasizes the historical value and charm of the piece.
