<p>[QUOTE="Darkwing Manor, post: 559517, member: 738"]Nice find! Probably mid 20th century. Construction technique dating doesn't always wash when applied to foreign made items, many continue to do it like the ancestors did it. I vote for etagere also! Some called them "what not" shelves. Asian style relies heavily on naturalistic asymmetry and truncated designs. A lot of the mid-Victorian Anglo-Japanese designs mimicked the floating mons, sword buckles and geometric forms of newly re-discovered Japan. Here is an older version..they call it a curio display shelf. <a href="https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/70588504_pierce-carved-massive-rosewood-curio-display-shelf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/70588504_pierce-carved-massive-rosewood-curio-display-shelf" rel="nofollow">https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/70588504_pierce-carved-massive-rosewood-curio-display-shelf</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
