Historical Context:
Étagères became highly fashionable during the Victorian era (mid-to-late 19th century) as parlors and sitting rooms evolved into showplaces for personal collections. The Eastlake style, popularized by architect and tastemaker Charles Eastlake in the 1870s and 1880s, emphasized geometric ornamentation, incised carvings, and furniture meant to be both functional and decorative. Pieces like this étagère reflected the era’s growing middle-class desire to display status and taste through art, porcelain, books, and curiosities.
