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.

A Canterbury is a low, portable wooden rack divided into multiple compartments, originally created during the late eighteenth century to hold sheet music and bound volumes.

They were typically constructed from solid mahogany or rosewood, incorporating hand-turned spindles, dovetailed drawer joints, and brass castors for ease of movement.

Authentic pieces display period-specific features such as hand-cut dovetails inside the base drawer, traditional hand-turned spindle dividers, original brass castors, and natural age-related patination across the mahogany surface.

Position the piece adjacent to an armchair, sofa, or desk to hold contemporary magazines, art monographs, or folded throws while introducing historical texture.

Keep the wood away from direct heat sources and strong sunlight to prevent drying or splitting, and clean periodically with a high-grade beeswax polish applied with a soft cotton cloth.
