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 late 18th-century England and named after the Archbishop of Canterbury, a canterbury is a low, divided wooden stand designed to hold sheet music or periodicals near a piano or seating area.

19th-century examples were typically constructed from fine hardwoods such as mahogany, rosewood, or walnut, featuring turned legs, hand-dovetailed drawers, and brass castors.

Furniture from the William IV period (18301837) features robust turned legs, bold scroll carving, rich timber veneers, hand-cut joinery, and brass fittings reflecting a transition between Regency and early Victorian styles.

An antique canterbury serves effectively as an accent piece beside an armchair or sofa, holding modern art books, magazines, or records while adding historical texture to a room.

Keep the wood away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent cracking or fading. Dust regularly with a clean, dry cloth and nourish the timber periodically with high-quality beeswax paste.
