FAQs

Named after the Archbishop of Canterbury in the late eighteenth century, a canterbury is a low, compartmentalised piece of mobile furniture designed to hold sheet music, bound volumes, or periodicals.

Regency and George IV period canterburys were typically crafted from fine timber like rosewood or mahogany, featuring hand-turned spindles, dovetail-jointed drawers, and brass wheel castors.

Authentic period pieces display hand-cut dovetail joints on lower drawers, original brass castors, rich rosewood graining, and natural patination across turned timber elements.

An antique canterbury serves as a versatile side table or accent piece alongside a sofa or armchair, ideal for organising contemporary magazines, art books, or vinyl records.

Dust regularly with a dry soft cloth and apply beeswax polish sparingly to preserve the timber grain and patination while keeping the piece away from direct heat sources.
