FAQs

Named after the Archbishop of Canterbury in the late 18th century, a Canterbury is a mobile wooden stand designed with vertical dividers to store sheet music, bound volumes, or periodicals.

Authentic Regency Canterburys were predominantly crafted from fine mahogany or rosewood, featuring turned legs, brass castors, dovetailed drawer joinery, and brass drawer pulls.

Authentic period examples display details such as original brass castors fitted with steel screws, hand-cut dovetail joints on the lower drawer, natural timber shrinkage along joints, and hand-carved concave or boat-shaped top rails.

A mahogany Canterbury functions alongside an armchair or sofa to store modern magazines, newspapers, prints, or art volumes, providing architectural interest to a seating area.

Keep the timber away from direct heat sources and bright sunlight to prevent shrinkage, and protect the original finish by applying beeswax along the grain twice yearly.
