FAQs

The canterbury originated in the late 18th century in England, traditionally designed as a small stand for holding sheet music, folios, or books, and is named after the Archbishop of Canterbury who commissioned the first design.

Traditional canterbury pieces are constructed from timbers such as mahogany, rosewood, or ebonised wood, featuring fine joinery, turned spindle pillars, slatted dividers, and often small brass castors for mobility.

Authenticity is identified by examining the timber ageing, hand-cut joinery, type of screws or fixings used, wear patterns on the feet and castors, and the overall construction quality typical of period manufacturing methods.

An antique canterbury can be utilised as a functional side table next to a sofa or armchair, serving to organise magazines, vinyl records, or books while adding historical character to a modern room.

Maintenance involves dusting with a soft, dry cloth and occasionally applying a specialist microcrystalline wax to nourish the finish, avoiding direct sunlight, excessive moisture, and silicone-based polishes.
