An early 19th-century Georgian rosewood canterbury with carved Prince of Wales feathers and having a single frieze drawer to the front. Finished on turned tapering legs with brass castors.

Overall condition is very good with age-related wear and tear. We have noted a couple of historic repairs to the front and rear dividers where they have split in the past, but this does not detract from the overall look of this wonderfully decorative example.

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

Introduced in the late 18th century, a Canterbury is a low stand with vertical partitions designed to store sheet music, named after the Archbishop of Canterbury who commissioned the initial design.

Early 19th-century examples were typically crafted from fine hardwoods such as rosewood or mahogany, featuring slatted divisions, integrated base drawers, turned legs, and brass castors for mobility.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved decorative motifs, hand-dovetailed drawer joints, period brass castors, and accurate timber wear patterns consistent with early 19th-century cabinetmaking techniques.

While historically used for sheet music, an antique Canterbury functions effectively in modern interiors alongside a sofa or armchair as a refined holder for magazines, art books, or oversized publications.

Maintain the piece by dusting with a soft cloth, applying high-grade beeswax polish sparingly, keeping it away from direct sunlight, and ensuring brass castors remain clear of debris.
