Étagère

An étagère for candies
An étagère for decorative objects

An étagère (French: [etaʒɛʁ]) is a French set of hanging or standing open shelves for the display of collections of objects or ornaments.[1][2]

The étagère became a popular form of furniture in the nineteenth century.[3] Similar to the what-not, the shelves of the étagère provided extra space for the display of the accumulation of knickknacks that was typical of Victorian home decor.[3] Each level is sometimes referred to as a tier.[4][5]

The term étagère is also used for a multi-tiered cake stand.[6][7][8]
