The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

A Canterbury what-not is a piece of 19th-century English furniture that combines open display shelves with lower slatted divisions. Originally intended to hold sheet music and folios, the upper tier allowed for display items or lamps.

Victorian Canterburys were typically crafted from solid woods such as walnut, mahogany, or rosewood, often featuring figured wood veneers like burr walnut. Hardware included brass castors, turned wooden spindles, and dovetailed drawer joints.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawer construction, original brass ceramic or metal castors, turned corner columns, and genuine burr walnut veneer with distinctive grain variations on the top and drawer front.

A Canterbury what-not works as an occasional table beside a armchair or sofa. The lower slatted partitions can hold modern magazines, newspapers, or vinyl records, while the flat upper surface accommodates a table lamp or decorative objects.

Dust regularly with a clean, dry microfibre cloth along the direction of the wood grain. Protect the timber veneer from direct sunlight and heat sources, and apply a thin layer of natural beeswax polish annually to maintain the timber finish.
