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.

Originating in late 18th-century Britain, a canterbury is a low furniture stand with vertical dividers, initially created to hold sheet music or bound volumes. Named after the Archbishop of Canterbury who commissioned the earliest known design, these pieces evolved during the Regency period to store periodicals and newspapers.

Regency canterburys were typically crafted from solid mahogany or rosewood, featuring hand-dovetailed lower drawers, turned corner posts, and curved divider slats. Construction incorporated brass castors on turned legs to allow easy mobility across timber floors or carpets.

Authentic Regency pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints inside the lower drawer, period-correct brass cup castors, and original timber turned knobs or brass handles. Examination of the drawer linings often reveals secondary woods like pine or oak, alongside natural wear consistent with age.

Positioned beside a sofa or armchair, a mahogany canterbury functions effectively as an accent table and magazine holder. It can also be styled in an alcove or reading corner to store art books, vinyl records, or architectural journals.

Clean the timber surface regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth, and apply a natural beeswax polish twice a year along the grain. Avoid placement near direct heat sources or radiators to prevent timber shrinkage and finish cracking.
