The Georgian paper / magazine rack comprises an outer bar-shape frame with simple turned supports and finials in each corner. The Regency Canterbury is divided into four compartments, by five rows of simple, slatted supports, each row topped with a concave bar. The central slat features a carrying handle, allowing you to pick up the rack and easily move it. The compartments are ideal for storing magazines, newspapers or music sheets. Below is a drawer, which retains the original Regency brass pull-ring handles and backplates. The working drawer is constructed with hand-dovetailed joints and closes flush to the frame. The Regency Canterbury is raised on its original ring turned legs and terminates on the original brass castor collars and wheels. This mahogany Canterbury has been constructed from the finest mahogany timbers.
