We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
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 vertical compartments, originally created in late 18th-century England to hold sheet music, bound volumes, or periodicals.

Regency Canterburys were typically crafted from solid mahogany or rosewood, featuring dovetailed drawer joints, turned wooden spindles or X-frame dividers, and brass brass-capped castors.

Authentic 19th-century pieces display hand-cut joinery, period-correct brass castors, natural timber patination, and hand-carved decorative elements such as central carved motifs or turned finials.

Place a Canterbury beside an armchair or sofa to store current publications and books, or position it alongside a piano or desk in a dedicated study setting.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply beeswax polish periodically along the grain, keeping the timber away from direct heat sources and excessive humidity.
