FAQs

Originally designed in the late 18th century and popularised during the Regency and Victorian eras, a Canterbury is a partitioned wooden rack used primarily to hold sheet music, bound volumes, or periodicals.

Authentic 19th-century Canterburys are constructed from solid mahogany or rosewood, featuring hand-dovetailed lower drawers, intricate pierced scrollwork dividers, turned corner spindles, and brass castors.

Look for period construction details such as hand-cut dovetails on the drawer, authentic turned legs, patinated original brass castors, and natural wear to the solid mahogany frame.

Position a Canterbury alongside an armchair or desk to store magazines, art books, or vinyl records while adding timber tone and historical character to the space.

Keep the piece away from direct heat sources and sunlight to protect the timber finish, and periodically apply a high-quality beeswax polish along the direction of the grain.
