This Edwardian Canterbury dates from around 1890 and takes a traditional lyre form crafted from warm brown mahogany. The piece rests upon curved sabre feet and displays intricate arabesque inlay executed in bone and boxwood around a central shell motif on the front and back, all accented with original pen-work. Slatted partitions create distinct sections across the top, while lyre-shaped fret divisions organise the interior space above a lower shelf. Measuring 57 cm in high, this occasional piece fits naturally beside the end of a sofa in a gentleman's library or living room to hold periodicals and books. The structure maintains its original condition throughout, combining functional storage with classical Edwardian decorative elements suited for traditional interior schemes.

FAQs

A Canterbury is a low, portable wooden rack featuring vertical dividers, originally designed in late eighteenth-century Britain to store bound sheet music and manuscript volumes near a piano or instrument.

Edwardian examples were predominantly constructed from mahogany or rosewood, frequently embellished with delicate satinwood, boxwood, or ebony marquetry inlay and finished with French polish.

Authentic period inlay exhibits hand-cut precision with subtle variations in wood grain and patina, showing smooth integration into the primary timber without modern machine-stencilled edges or synthetic varnishes.

An antique Canterbury functions effectively in contemporary settings as a side table for storing oversized art books, periodicals, or vinyl records beside a sofa or lounge chair.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax paste annually along the wood grain, keeping the item away from direct sunlight and central heating sources.
