FAQs

Originally created in the late eighteenth century to store sheet music, a canterbury is a low wooden rack with open partitions, typically featuring a base drawer and brass castors for mobility.

Edwardian canterburys were typically crafted from mahogany or rosewood, incorporating hand-cut dovetail drawer joinery, turned or slatted dividers, and cast brass handles and wheels.

Authentic pieces exhibit early twentieth-century cabinetmaking markers, including natural patination, fine dovetail joints in the single drawer, original brass castors, and precise timber joinery.

A canterbury functions effectively in contemporary spaces for holding magazines, oversized art books, or vinyl records, ideal positioned beside a reading chair or sofa.

Dust regularly using a soft microfibre cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish periodically to protect the mahogany finish, keeping the piece clear of direct sunlight and damp conditions.
