The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Introduced in late 18th-century England, the canterbury was named after the Archbishop of Canterbury who reportedly ordered the design. Originally crafted as a mobile stand to hold sheet music and folios, it became a staple of Georgian and Regency drawing rooms.

High-quality hardwoods such as mahogany, rosewood, and walnut were predominantly used. Construction typically involved hand-cut dovetail joints, turned timber posts, and brass castors attached to the legs for mobility.

Authentic pieces from the George IV era feature rich timber patination, hand-carved turned corner posts, fine partition slats, and original brass castors. Lower drawers often display hand-cut dovetails and turned timber knobs.

While originally designed for sheet music, a canterbury functions as a stylish magazine, newspaper, or coffee table book rack beside an armchair, sofa, or desk.

Regular dust removal with a soft cloth and periodic applications of natural beeswax maintain the timber lustre. Avoid placing the item in direct sunlight or adjacent to heat sources to prevent cracking.
