Early 19th Century English George III Mahogany Canterbury or Magazine Rack, Circa 1810

A fine early example of an English Canterbury. These pieces were first introduced in the late 18th century and intended for a music room and were designed to store sheet music, which is often used to store magazines or books in recent years. This early example dates to c 1810 and is of a plain stylish rectangular design with a slender mahogany frame with four divisions. Below there is a slim single drawer with original gilt brass knobs. This charming piece stands on elegantly turned slender legs with original brass castors. ( one rear castor was replaced but it is a close match to the originals.)

This Canterbury or magazine rack is in very good condition.

English, circa 1810
