FAQs

A Canterbury is a low, compartmentalised piece of wooden furniture originally designed in late 18th-century England to hold sheet music or bound music scores. Named after the Archbishop of Canterbury who supposedly commissioned the initial design, it typically features slatted vertical divisions and a lower base drawer.

19th-century Canterburys were primarily crafted from fine hardwoods such as mahogany, rosewood, or walnut. Construction typically incorporated dovetail joints in the base drawers, turned wooden corner posts, and brass castors for mobility.

Authentic 19th-century examples display hand-cut dovetail joinery in the drawer construction, original brass castors secured to turned legs, and natural wear or patination on the mahogany surface. The dividers often feature subtle hand-carved or slatted latticework consistent with Georgian, Regency, or Victorian cabinetmaking techniques.

While originally designed for sheet music, an antique Canterbury serves as an elegant magazine or newspaper rack positioned beside a armchair, sofa, or desk. It can also function as a side table or a display holder for large art folios and books.

Dust regularly with a soft, lint-free microfibre cloth along the grain. Preserve the natural patina by applying a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, avoiding silicon-based sprays and direct exposure to heat sources or moisture.
