Wooden wall boxes with multiple drawers, often referred to as "whatnot" shelves or apothecary cabinets, were popular decorative and functional items in homes from the late 19th century through the mid-20th century. They were used to store small items like sewing notions, spices, letters, or trinkets, keeping them organized and accessible while adding a decorative element to the wall. The designs often incorporated folk art motifs, such as heart cutouts, reflecting a simpler, handcrafted aesthetic. These types of organizers were commonly found in kitchens, craft rooms, or entryways. Their construction typically involved simple woodworking techniques, often made from pine or other readily available woods, and finished with paint or stain. While not typically made by renowned furniture makers, they represent a charming aspect of domestic history and everyday life, appealing to collectors of vintage home decor and folk art.

Hi Everyone! I am Amy, one of the Moderators here at Secondhandsquad.net. Part of that role is to assist with any questions you may have, so fire away! I am from Columbus, Ohio and love thrifting and perusing our local antique stores! I enjoy pieces that remind me of my grandparents and love the hunt of finding unique treasures to bring into my home. While I love the reselling business, I find my joy in giving new life to old pieces and sharing that with others.
