A beautiful antique hanging corner shelf or étagère, featuring finely spool-turned supports and five graduated triangular shelves in their original oxblood red painted finish. The craftsmanship and patina suggest a late 19th to early 20th-century American origin, with design roots in both Victorian spool furniture and Shaker-style simplicity.
This corner étagère was sourced from the estate of Jonathan Parks in Santa Fe, known for his discerning eye for form, texture, and patinated finishes. The piece’s delicate yet architectural form gives it a sculptural quality—part furniture, part art object. Each turned element has been hand-shaped, joined with small brass hooks at top and bottom for hanging, and retains traces of its century-old wear and warmth.
Perfect for displaying folk art, ironstone, small ceramics, or botanical curiosities, this hanging shelf adds vertical interest and texture to a wall or corner space. Its oxblood hue and turned silhouette blend seamlessly into cottage, colonial, Santa Fe adobe, or modern farmhouse interiors.
