Long Georgian Sheraton Canterbury

18th century
For Sale by Moxhams Antiques
Description

George III Sheraton period canterbury of a rare large size; in faded figured mahogany with ebony stringing around the drawers, the drawers lined in mahogany and with their original gilt knobs and locks, attractive boat shaped top on square tapered legs, 3 original Georgian castors with 1 old replacement. The legs intact and structurally sound.

I bought this in Scotland from a dealer who found it in a local house - though with it's oak drawer lining rather than ash found in Scottish-made furniture, I believe it was made in England. I really like the rare large size, indeed it’s the largest one I’ve come across; the good original colour; the original knobs still with their old gilding intact; also the late 18th features including Sheraton style square tapered legs, the castors with sharp angled forks and the old brass locks.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A Canterbury was first developed in late eighteenth-century England as a mobile wood stand with vertical slatted dividers designed to hold sheet music or bound music books. Legend holds that the piece was originally commissioned by the Archbishop of Canterbury, giving rise to its distinctive name.

Georgian Canterburys were predominantly constructed from solid mahogany or rosewood, occasionally featuring satinwood crossbanding. High-grade brass was used for the wheel castors, keyhole escutcheons, and drawer knobs.

Authentic Georgian Sheraton Canterburys display hand-cut dovetail joints in the lower drawers, original cast-brass cap castors, and delicate, well-proportioned turned or square tapered legs. The wood should exhibit natural patination and hand-worked underside construction.

While originally made for sheet music, a Canterbury serves effectively in contemporary homes as a holder for magazines, art books, or vinyl record collections. Its compact proportion makes it suitable as a side table adjacent to armchairs or sofas.

Dust regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth along the grain line. Apply a quality beeswax polish twice a year to preserve the patina, avoiding silicone-based sprays and keeping the piece away from direct heat sources and high humidity.
