Antique Black Lacquered Effect Corner Étagère with Barley Twist Legs 4 Tier Victorian Gothic Display Shelf Unit Ornate Carved Top Wot Not

This striking antique black lacquered effect corner étagère is a magnificent example of Victorian-inspired decorative furniture, featuring four graduated shelves supported by beautifully turned barley twist legs. It’s designed to sit snugly in a corner, making it both practical for space-saving and eye-catching as a statement display piece.

Crafted in quality mahogany and finished in a semi-glossy black paint, the unit’s spiral-turned supports evoke the rich style of the late 19th century and early 20th century. Each of the shelves has a subtly scalloped front edge, enhancing its fluid profile and drawing attention to its craftsmanship.

There are signs of surface wear and use, particularly on the upper shelves, including patina marks and a scuffed patch (visible in close-up), which only add to its antique authenticity. All elements appear sturdy and intact. Its visual impact makes it a perfect choice for showcasing plants, curios, collectibles, or books in a hallway, parlour, or period-inspired setting.

The wot not is well preserved. Historically, there would have been finials and rear decoration to the top; these have been removed. Importantly, the rest is fully intact and sturdy.
