Incorporating a boxwood inlaid crossbar outer frame, supported by four larger turned spindle in each corner, capped with small finials, the Victorian Canterbury is divided into three compartments, separated by finely turned spindles. The compartments are ideal for storing magazines, newspapers or music sheets. Below, a single drawer, which is decorated with boxwood string inlay, opens to reveal additional storage space. The drawer has been constructed with fine hand-dovetailed joints, with mahogany drawer linings. The outer box frame of the Victorian Canterbury also displays additional decorative boxwood string inlay detail.
The Victorian Canterbury is raised on its original turned legs which retain the original brass castor collars, with ceramic wheels. The Canterbury reflects a flamboyant and distinctive style, typical of the Victorian period; it has been constructed from the finest timbers.
