FAQs

A music canterbury is a low, portable piece of furniture introduced in the late 18th century and widely produced throughout the Victorian era to hold sheet music, bound scores, or periodicals.

Victorian canterburys were typically crafted from fine hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, or rosewood, often featuring decorative burr veneers, hand-carved turned legs, dovetailed joinery, and brass castors.

Authentic period pieces show signs of hand craftsmanship, such as hand-cut dovetail joints, natural oxidation to the timber, original brass or ceramic castors, and characteristic book-matched burr walnut veneering.

An antique canterbury works as an occasional table beside a sofa or armchair, serving as a functional holder for magazines, art books, or vinyl records in contemporary living rooms or studies.

Dust regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to maintain the wood grain. Keep the piece away from direct sunlight and central heating radiators to prevent drying or cracking.
